Sometimes

SOMETIMES

I love myself enough to be the best human possible

I ride the waves, stumble, fall and get up time after time

But my experiences are no less credible
Take it for what it's worth
I'll speak my mind and do it until I die 
Because, I am a poet and have been since birth

I share it through paper and pen and a few rhymes

Forgive my trespasses and I'll pray I never falter again

I forgive my enemies and feel obligated to thank them

Thankful for the hard lessons learned

I try to lead by example

What you put out there you get in return

Why did Eve eat that damn apple

There are some people with a light that shines

And others who live in the dark

I think both dwell in us all, the brightest love casts shadows

Where the evil sometimes lurks
