Why should I be afraid of falling to the ground if its soil was the very thing that blossomed me?


I’m a determined student.
I always do my best,
But my best is never good enough.
Can you still love me?

I’m a father and a workaholic.
I love my family,
But I have to provide for them.
Can you still love me?

I’m a soldier and a hero.
I saved my battalion,
But I killed a mother holding her child.
Can you still love me?

I’m a successful doctor.
I take care of my patients,
But I only care about my paychecks.
Can you still love me?

I’m a filthy vagabond.
I have holes in my shoes,
But I fought for my country.
Can you still love me?

I’m a lovely and talented girl.
I take care of my family,
But I sell my body for a living.
Can you still love me?

I’m a Christian.
God has given me everything,
But I can’t show love to others.
Can you still love me?

This piece is just about how sometimes, we forget to not take others at face value, but instead to look deeper within. I was fed up with the sea of hypocrisy surrounding me, that I decided to write this.
