I used to believe in destiny
I used to believe in fate
I thought I'd end up at just the right place
And everything would just be great
I used to believe in honesty
In speaking up for what you believe
I thought people would value the truth
I didn't think that they would leave
I used to believe in people
That deep down everyone is good
That's why violence, cruelty, and abuse
Were things that I never understood.
If there is good in everyone
Do people just choose the bad?
Do they decide that life is more fun
When your goal is to make others sad?
If being honest is always best
Then why does it create drama?
Arguments, attacks, and insults...
Why not save ourselves the trauma?
If there is really some higher plan
Why do so many people end up falling flat
People are bullied, abused, homeless
Tell me, what kind of master plan is that?
I used to believe in destiny
Maybe I was just naive
I used to believe in the good
Now I don't know what I believe.
So this is a bit more negative than the poems I usually share (in my opnion) I almost didn't share this one...but I liked the layout a lot so I figured...eh why not. Anyways, sorry for the negativity everyone! <3 Hopefully my next poem will be a bit more positive <3 :)
Also sorry about the lame title...this the first time ever that I couldn't come up with a one word title that was exactly what I wanted it to be...
But I refuse to break my tradition of one word titles lol. So I'll have to settle for a mediocre one. Anyways, hope you all enjoy the poem dispite the negativity.
