Around me

Around me is pain,
Around me is sorrow,
Hope is gone, suffering constant,
I feel confined and without impact,
I want to get away,
Pretend none of this is happening around me.

As a social worker, everyday I meet new people who are in need of help and are going through the unspeakable. Its so sad when there is little you can do to assist everyone and help them live better lives. Due to the work that I am doing I have learnt how to appreciate those around me and build positive relationships with all those around me.

So often we let our environments affect the work that we are doing, our veiws on life and how we treat other people. As much as it is hard to learn to treat people as individuals we must learn to also get the best out of all those we interact with and black out the negative energy coming our way!

You would be surprised at how much of a difference this would make in your life!
