The Mask We Wear

It is that of a man’s heart to which he follows. But that of the lord our God that guides our steps. It is the beauty we find in one another. As I have found this in you. It is there we seek our true lives as we strive. That of our soul to which cries out for love. It is life’s trials to which make us stronger. But our hearts we defy as we suffer. It’s there we die inside from the rejections. Not just love but the life we have to live. It’s that of the people we try to impress. Only to find out we are far different in life. But it is there we lose ourselves to. As each one put themselves higher then others. We are all equal in the sight of God. Why can we not be equal on the face of the earth? Why does each man think they have to be vain? Especially when we all bleed the color red from our veins. It is in this life we only live once. Why can I not be me instead of someone dictating for me? It’s because each person wants to control us and what we do. Instead of worrying about themselves and what they do. It is there I fight for freedom and rights I have in this life. As I stand as a rebel, alone in this life. But it is there I am strong and without blemish you see. Because I have the greatest gift of all. And that is God is here with me.

Does god love a saint more than a cimininal? Does he send punish bad people? Then he judges also. I have not figured out how to not look down to weaker souls, especially if they are prideful, the "Only MY prophet is divine" people... I also think if your freedoms infringe on others or the planet then we need to collectively dictate the lives of people who would abuse others. Especially the rich...
