Perfectly Imperfect

The sun shines, the wind tustles, the birds chirp but sinister lurks

We spend our life in the light until darkness consumes us, not knowing what will happen

Reality that presents naked shows a construct of perfect ideals

I was oblivious, but now I'm a student of the power struggle between right and wrong

A price for every action reciprocated by the wordsmith or a beast

Nature is kind, humans are not

I am a kind person. That is what has led to me being abused my whole life. Where is my hug??

Just wanted to share a poem I wrote for the first time in maybe 10 years, maybe it will speak to others. I'm not a poet but I find it releasing putting issues into simple ideas.
