Psychopathy in the Society
Be wary of it and stay safe
The jungle is dark and deep.
It’s scary and unpredictable —
with hungry tigers, lions
stealthy snakes, scorpions
and poisonous brambles,
But society is worse.
People here look normal,
but they are wearing masks,
below it, they are hiding
unresolved trauma.
They are waiting to explode —
and burn you too.
Navigating society
is no laughing matter.
Yes, you can be safe —
but only if you wear
the armor of psychology.
It can protect you
against the illnesses of psyche.
Build yourself a cloak
to fend off
the weapons of psychopathy.
And be cautious —
not to inflict wounds
on vulnerable people too.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Great work here ♦️♦️♦️♦️
Good job. Remember not to read too much into psychology and the disorders and issues for you never know when you might diagnose yourself or others wrong. Psych is a good resource though.
