Samples:
Bullies are cowards with no empathy
Intimidating others so that they can be
Seen as powerful, dominant and strong
When in fact they have no confidence
Just want to belong.
The bully is clever in hiding his intention
Picks on the vulnerable to get satisfaction
Be brave and let people of authority know of your plight
Do not allow yourself to be drawn into his fight.
Pity the bully, defiant and resisting
An unfeeling tormentor, love is sadly missing
***
A kind heart, what a lovely disposition to possess
The warmth it bestows can cheer and caress
For no other reason than it is sincerely meant
Empathy warmly given and a desire to be pleasant.
***
A pearl is hidden by an outer shell
it's beauty lies within
don't judge outward appearances
look beneath the skin
for how can you possibly assess
a person's character
by a look and a guess.
***
Hiding feelings so that others cannot detect
Putting up barriers that protect
Shutting out those who delve and pry
Secrets too painful to relive, let them die.
***
Never give up hope in adversity
Cling to expectations that there is a possibility
For a desire that improvement will come about
Changing the outlook, blocking out doubt
A positive anticipation of what the future may bring
Gives you the strength, for belief comes from within.
***
Viscous words spoken, tear you apart
They wound like an arrow that pierces the heart.
Try not to retaliate by those full of hate
They have not developed and grown
For them life is empty, there is no love shown.

Evil never learns
Evil does not seek the truth
Evil only wants to destroy
Its vengeful deeds are proof
Evil lurks in darkness
Entrails lay fathoms deep
Evil is the keeper of lost souls
Always searching it has no need for sleep.
Evil has no pity
It enjoys inflicting pain
Evil shows no mercy
Suffering is its gain.
There will always be evil until we understand right from wrong
Not giving into weakness, forever remaining strong.
We have the choice to walk away
Or face the consequences if we stay.
Evil cannot grow if we are prepared to say no.
Evil can be overcome
Not taking hold of everyone.
Evil seeks shadows to grow and feed
But light can overcome
Let this be the seed.
Allow goodness and mercy into our lives to thrive
Through humanitarian deeds evil cannot survive.

Laughter is a tonic, it is enjoyment we can all share
A smile on the face brings happiness
Lifting our spirits and care.
A moment of light-heartedness
To forget our problems and woes
A happy joyful experience
Giving an inner glow.
You cannot buy this infectiousness
It has to be genuine to be believed
Spreading lively amusement
Emotions we all need.
A cheerful happy moment
When worries just fade away
Uplifting light banter
It should happen every day.
The world would be a much better place
Laughter can be shared by every living race.
***
It is difficult to say nothing when you know things are not right
You want to help but feel this might
Be construed as interfering so can only be there
To be entirely supportive and totally aware.
Communication is difficult to attain
Motives are genuine, you have nothing to gain.
People are proud, it takes courage to say
I did my best, I had to try my way.
When you are let down by others, in comes doubt
The relationship suffers it's not working out.
Address the problem, try and see
Or is the crack too wide, perhaps it is not meant to be.
There is no point papering over, trying to pretend
Sometimes we have to admit the relationship has to end.
Face your fears and then maybe you will find
A positive outcome that will bring peace of mind.
There is never failure, life is a learning curve
Understand this, then strive for what you deserve.
In the scheme of our growth, nothing is lost
It can be a hard lesson at emotional cost.
Do not waste precious time, try to move on
Eventually the hurt and tears will be gone.
