Questioning
I’m questioning my whole life
at the moment
Everything I believed in
everything I believed was right
Kindness
Respect
Decency
Honesty
and so much more
It turns out these are non-returnable
Absorbed by others
they disappear into nothing
achieve very little
Maybe the odd thank you
But more often it’s accepted
as the norm
Just you
nothing to do with me
No need to take any notice
stop and reflect
Cheers
carry on as you were
But you carry on
being who you want to be
and you let them down
Maybe a telling off would have
ended the selfishness
Made them see the damage they do
While you try to cope with it
Maybe you could have stopped them
hurting someone else
You think you’re a good person
then you recognise you’re a failure
Whilst you were doing
what you know to be right
Trying to be what the world needs
Your commitment to acceptance
surrounded you with people
who erased you
Oh s/he will always be there
no need for effort around them
They’re always okay
But we’re not
Are we?
We’re trying to do the impossible
in a world that speaks a different language
Ace we’re drowning in indifference

If you have a kind person in your life – appreciate them and treat them with the same decency they extend to you.
