The Justification of Insanity
The lies you tell yourself,
As you look in the mirror.
All the times you alibi the,
Justification of things you did,
In the name of insanity.
We're the decisions a motive for,
Rationalization in your,
Mind for an excuse.
Such an excuse you tend to,
Overlook as you regret the,
Choices you had to make.
How do you look within yourself and,
Forgive those who have wronged you?
I look back and I know,
I am a good person,
I don't lie,
I never cheated,
Yet now I find myself asking, Why me?
What have I done to deserve all,
This evil being brought down on me?
Just a simple question,
To a very complex answer.
Just asking,
Not really expecting an answer.
I ponder as I look into the sunset, smiling.
I wonder with so much beauty,
How can there be so much,
Evil in the world.
One answer:. The scales must balance.
Good vs Evil will always be present.
It is our job to make sure,
Evil does not prevail.
