A Good Person
Listen to 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.
