Poem
A good person. What makes a person quote a “good person”? Does a good person always finish on top? Not really. Does a good person get rewarded for good deeds? No not in the material manner. Does a good person deserve the best? Sure. But so do not so good people. Does a good person always receive the best? Nope. But their needs are met on a daily basis. Does a good person lie? Sometimes. But no one ever said a good person is perfect. See… I have many flaws inside of me. I have character defects that keep me up at night starving to fall asleep. See… I may have many problems inside of me. But I have a heart of gold that loves too quickly, yet breaks too easily. What makes a bad person quote a “bad person”? Does a bad person always get their way? Sometimes. Does a bad person deserve misery and condemnation? Not always. See… Bad people aren’t born bad, they became bad probably gradually as they get older. Does a bad person deserve goodness? Yes. Everyone deserves goodness. Big…small…black…white……everyone. See… I am a good person. (I finally admitted it despite all contradictions and self-loathing) A good person deserves the best, yet sometimes gets dealt the worst. I ask God, why? I have heard in my heart this being said… A good person will always face challenges more than others because they carry the faith that they can make it through anything. A good person has demons but they also have a light in their soul bright enough to kill anything wicked. A good person may get ridiculed more than others because they are different than most others. Different isn’t good or bad. It’s just different. Am I different? Maybe. Am I normal? There is no such thing. Am I a good person? Yup. Will I always be a good person? Yes, Lord willing. My goodness has rooted from a loving family. My goodness has rooted from my belief that the Almighty Lord, loves me… He loves me because… I am a good person. I love Him because.... he made me a good person. -Laura Loo
