Breathe


No matter the current situation

there is always a conflict

"Get off your high-horse!" 

Their point is always to convict.

Take a seat,  take a breather 

Look through their eyes

because for all you know that person you despise

is full of good ideas and you never gave them a chance

To fully express their opinion

in a way you'd except

The one thing I'll tell you. Right here, right now

is let your opponent speak 

and always remember:

Keep to the facts.

And you'll become unstoppable.

I'm the kind of person who isn't quick to make judgements on anyone or anything with the "unbiased" facts from both side. I like to think deep about things and question everything. I want my imagination and wonder to grow!
