Honesty

I often disregard the fact that people affect me the way they do

whether it be good or bad, I just can't shake the fact that people matter

So I'm really astonished by the fact that good people

or anyone really, are treated badly

Is it that we forget the Golden Rule at a certain age

such as when adolescence hits and our selfishness consumes us

or when things gets so bad that it's depression you can't escape

whatever it maybe, whoever it maybe

don't you think they'd appreciate a little kind-heartedness?

even if it ain't reciprocated,

even if they hate you,

even if they harm you,

look into the core of their soul

and let them know,

how their actions only reflect

how much hurt they have endured

and the fact of the matter is,

that they are loved,

it's ensured

even if they aren't.
