Just One Person
I feel no coat of burden, despite guilt’s overpowering ways
For freedom lies within my heart, as honesty fights the days
I feel no sense of regret, though decisions are so often made
As choices not for my own good, but for the many that outweigh
I hope to have the ability, sensibility to always do what’s right
For then my conscience speaks to me and warms me with its light
I hope to possibly change the world, just one person at a time
As my heart’s wide open, head held high, so eagerly sublime
