Games We Play That's Not Ok

Sometimes we all do and say Things that hurtfully betray Those we should never dismiss When did it come down to this Making us pain those who care It's not moral, nice or fair To see tears in someones eyes From the awful long lived lies Coming out more and more evil As we play this devils deal Never leaving us alone Turning our hearts into stone Causing us to be more brutal To resist is just plain futul Once it grabs on and sticks in There's no turning back again Even the sweetest and kindest Person can't run==they will find it Bubbling up strong and deep Inch by inch it starts to creep From their inner darkest soul Losing your sense of control This evil will penetrate It takes over and can't wait To cause more trouble and chaos Loving every time it takes us To a place we know is wrong But the powers much too strong To avoid the hurt once more And watch another sad tear Start to fall and re-appear On the painful faces of Those we care about and love

Totally agree with FJ: sometimes the Truth is mired in sadness and sometimes the Truth is always kind. I think a lot of people avoid the Truth because it can hurt so much and cause so much pain. Going to echo FJ again: beautiful poem :)
