Characters 2

Different,
sometimes, extreme means
However, 
similar ends
Complex characters we are
Carrying on in our directions
Only connection
is motive
We all, as characters,
have one
That’s how we make
good stories
good plots
But as we motivate ourselves in life
sometimes, in the process,
we forget one thing
Why
Just as characters do
Seeing opportunity
while they, we
lose perspective
Trying so hard
Being diligent,
to bring outcomes into fruition 
But often
motives
cause us to miss
morals
Which provides 
the intrigue
in seeing, in reading, in hearing
Characters
losing control
contradicting
the soul
and good conscience
Trying to regain spiritual consciousness 
from forgiveness
Begging and pleading with God
for redemption
As characters do
