Oh! you cry baby, Are u a lady? Boys don’t cry, Be a man, why don’t you try. Tears are for the weak, You listen to what they speak, Be strong, is what they say, Oh no! They are wrong,  crying makes you  stronger any day. Let the lava out, You’ll feel better, no doubt, Don’t let it build inside you, You’ll get through. You are brave I justify, Because your not afraid to cry. - Rushda Shamsi

When I look at my father, I don’t see him, I see the sacrifices he has made, I see a live shield, guarding us, I see that hardwork has a face, I see the years of sleep he missed, I see his fun lifestyle fading, When I look at my father, I see unconditional love.  -Rushda Shamsi
