I still believe there is good
in everyone.
even the most evil

I think it started
slow where sliding down
the esophagus the hallucinogenic
melds with the pills and meds
melts with the elements
around us

and I know we all
can't help but feel
like we're  sitting on a notion meditating
on a thought

but I refuse to be a
tragic backdrop to your
midnight sky

I think it started
With those deep entrancing eyes.
remember THAT
so when we judge the worst people in the world
remember that they're all bad
for very different reasons

that they all started off slow
I swear.
but somewhere rushed it all
somewhere things went awry
and I still believe there is good in
everyone

Reason 1. We are born equal
Reason 2. We all tried our best
Reason 3. We failed to meet the expectations

maybe because no one believed we could be good enough
maybe because no one cared.
And we rushed through life on auto pilot

no there are no bad seeds
Just beautifully grown trees and
Iridescent waters in which we stare at our reflections
a ripple effect of expectations

and I cast a stone across the surface of the sea
there is good bad
black and white
right and wrong

but I still believe.
