“Accountability”

In life, we walk a winding road,
Where every action we have sowed,
Will bear a fruit, for good or ill,
A truth we can’t escape at will.

The choices made, both big and small,
Reflect the rise, or mark the fall,
For in the mirror we must see,
The weight of our own legacy.

To blame the wind, the stars, the sky,
Is but a fleeting, hollow cry.
For what we do, and what we say,
Returns to us in some small way.

So stand up tall, accept your part,
With honesty and open heart,
For only then, can we grow free,
Embracing true accountability.

“You Can’t Break the Broken”

You can't break the broken, they've weathered the storm,
Been tossed by the waves, yet still they stay warm.
Their hearts may be shattered, their edges may tear,
But there's fire within them that burns with a flare.

They’ve stumbled through shadows, they’ve danced in the rain,
Felt the depths of their sorrow, embraced all their pain.
Yet here they stand taller, with scars they don't hide,
For strength is the armor they've carried inside.

You can't break the broken, they've seen darker days,
But they rise with each dawn in resilient ways.
For the beauty of broken is more than you see—
It’s the soul’s quiet whisper, “I’m still here, I'm free.”

"The Weight of Silence”

Depression walks with heavy feet,
A quiet shadow none can greet.
It pulls you down with unseen chains,
And fills your heart with endless rains.

It’s not just sadness or a tear,
It’s losing joy you held so dear.
The things you loved now fade away,
As darkness steals the light of day.

It whispers lies that you’re alone,
That hope is something never known.
Your energy fades, you can’t escape,
Each day feels like a heavy weight.

You sleep too much, or not at all,
The world around you seems so small.
A fog that clouds both heart and mind,
It makes it hard for peace to find.

But recognize its heavy hand,
You don’t have to make a stand.
For in the knowing, there’s relief,
A path beyond this quiet grief.

With help, with love, with light ahead,
Depression’s grip can soon be shed.
So when you feel its presence near,
Know that you’re seen, and help is here.

"Whispers of Worry"

Anxiety comes with a quiet call,
A shadow that creeps and stands so tall.
It starts as a flutter deep inside,
A restless feeling you cannot hide.

Your heart may race, your breath may speed,
Your mind fills up with endless need.
A sense of doom without a name,
It grips your soul and fans the flame.

You feel the weight of what’s unseen,
An urge to flee from all routine.
Trembling hands, a heavy chest,
A constant fear that steals your rest.

It tells you lies you start to believe,
That peace is something you cannot achieve.
But breathe in deep and know it’s there,
A fleeting feeling you can bear.

Recognize the signs, they’re clear and true,
In knowing them, you’ll pull through too.
Anxiety may knock at your door,
But it doesn’t have to stay anymore.

"More Than Love: The Heart of Lasting Relationships"

Is love enough for us to stay?
To keep the storms of life at bay?
No, it takes more than just a spark,
To guide us through when times get dark.

It needs commitment, strong and true,
A bond that holds through all we do.
Compromise, where hearts must meet,
For love alone is not complete.

It takes the intimacy to see,
The depth of you, the depth of me.
Understanding through the highs and lows,
That’s how a lasting love still grows.

So love is precious, but it’s not all,
It takes much more to never fall.
With effort, trust, and tender care,
A lasting love becomes so rare.

“The Weight of Shadows”

A heavy cloud, it lingers near,
A silent scream no one can hear.
Depression creeps, it steals the light,
Turns day to dark, and wrong to right.

It pulls them down, they cannot flee,
From chains unseen, yet painfully.
A smile hides the storm inside,
Where tears and struggles often hide.

The world around seems far away,
As joy and hope begin to stray.
Each step feels harder than the last,
As time slows down, the moments pass.

It’s not a choice, it’s not a mood,
It’s not just feeling lost or rude.
It’s battling thoughts that pull them low,
A fight the world may never know.

For those who care, it’s hard to see,
How deep their pain, how hard it be.
But all they need is someone there,
A hand to show they’re not in air.

Though darkness tries to block the sun,
With love and care, the fight’s not done.
Depression’s weight is hard to bear,
But hope remains, through every tear.

“The Echoes No One Else Can Hear”

A whisper soft, a shout so clear,
An echo no one else can hear.
Auditory tricks at play,
They fill the mind and steal the day.

Misunderstood by those around,
Who hear no voices, hear no sound.
But in their head, the noise won’t cease,
A constant hum, a shattered peace.

“Just ignore it,” some might say,
But these sounds won’t go away.
They whisper doubts, they shout out fears,
Bringing anguish, bringing tears.

Yet still, they stand and face the fight,
Battling voices out of sight.
For what we can’t see, they endure,
A struggle silent, but so pure.

If only others took the time,
To walk within that fragile mind,
They’d see it’s more than just a phase,
It’s living life through cloudy days.

So lend an ear, a hand, a heart,
For healing takes a kinder start.
Auditory storms may come and go,
But with compassion, hope will grow.

“The World Through Their Eyes”

They speak in ways the heart can’t hear,
A world that's far, yet oh so near.
Autism paints their mind with hues,
Of quiet thoughts and hidden views.

Others see what's different, strange,
Misunderstood, out of their range.
But deep inside, a world unfolds,
Of beauty vast, of stories told.

They may not meet your gaze or speak,
But there's a strength, quiet and unique.
The sounds too loud, the lights too bright,
Yet in their world, they find their light.

Misjudged by many, labeled wrong,
But their truth is simply strong.
They're wired to see things in their way,
A dance that others don't portray.

So take the time, just slow your pace,
See life through their unhurried grace.
For in their silence, there's a spark,
A brilliance glowing in the dark.

Autism isn't what it seems,
It's more than labels, more than dreams.
It’s a journey that we all must share,
To understand, to truly care.

“A Heart That Knows No Bounds”

An intellectual road they climb,
With steps that move in their own time.
Though words and numbers may come slow,
Their heart’s a place where love can grow.

They see the world through different eyes,
A wonder bright, without disguise.
With patience, they may take their stand,
Yet all they ask is just a hand.

Intellectual limits, yes, it's true,
But look at all they still can do.
With kindness, courage, gentle grace,
They find their way, they find their place.

For those who love them, hearts are wide,
We walk together, side by side.
Through every challenge, big or small,
We rise with them, we stand tall.

Their mind may work in its own way,
But love and light guide every day.
An intellectual path they chart,
But nothing stops their shining heart.

A Special Kind of Love

There’s a light within their eyes,
A heart that reaches toward the skies.
Though the world may see a different view,
Their love is pure, their joy is true.

Down Syndrome shapes the way they grow,
A journey some may never know.
But through the challenges they face,
They teach us strength, they show us grace.

A smile that brightens cloudy days,
A spirit dancing in simple ways.
Their laughter rings, their hugs are warm,
A special love that breaks the norm.

For those who love them, hearts are wide,
We walk with pride, we’re by their side.
Through highs and lows, we’re hand in hand,
Together we will always stand.

Though some may say the road is steep,
The love we share is rich and deep.
They teach us more than we could give,
A lesson in how to truly live.

"Standing Strong in the Voting Queue"

I’m standing here, waiting in the queue,
With my hopes high and a vision new.
The line may be long, but I’ll hold my place,
For this is a moment I won’t let waste.

Each vote is a voice, a chance to be heard,
A small but powerful, mighty word.
Though time moves slow, I’m standing still,
For change comes only through steadfast will.

As I wait, I think of what’s at stake,
The future we all have the power to make.
So I stand here strong, in this line today,
Believing in the choices we all convey.

“When Freedom Is Sold and Justice Is Bought”

When freedom is sold and justice is bought,
The scales tip heavy, the truth is caught.
For silver and gold, the innocent pay,
While those with power reshape the day.

The cries for fairness, lost in the fight,
As shadows corrupt what once was right.
But hope still burns in hearts untold,
To reclaim what's just, and free the soul.

“The Shape of Grief”

Grief can change its shape, but it never ends,
A wound that time may soothe, but never mends.
It shifts like shadows dancing in the night,
Sometimes it fades, then swells with all its might.

It wears new faces, quiet or loud,
A whispering storm, a heavy cloud.
Though days may pass, and smiles pretend,
Grief can change its shape, but it never ends.
