Beginnings

Beginnings

Are we born evil?

If so, I understand why people force tears

out of my eyes and the eyes of others,

but,

if we are not what causes us to become so terrible?


Smart, beautiful people hurt and kill...

Someone, who as a child instantly loved everything

and everyone now takes one look at me--

decides that he hates me--

leaves me behind.


Give Me

a chance!


Give Everyone

a chance to show off

who they really are,

who they were

born to be.


Not what society has made them.


Not what mask they put on to hide the Pain.


I want to see you,

I want to know you.


If there is a God, Allah, Zeus, or anything…

If they do exist tell me can we be born evil?

Would the almighty being who watches over let that happen?

If you think so then we disagree,

but I must ask…


Why are we born evil?
