The Good with the Bad

People will tell you no
When they know the answer is yes
Realize their limits will
Become yours if you allow

We are equal parts good and bad
Capable of right and wrong
Using smiles and frowns as weapons
The same way we use words and deeds

Kind words from a stranger
Beat the thoughtless words of people
Who think they know who you really are
When they do not even know themselves

Learning who you are is good
Knowing who you are is better
Remember good and bad, right and wrong
Exist because we let it
