    Character flaws

    I could wait

    But I wouldn’t be any more prepared if I did

    I look around and wonder

    Who’s setting the example for whom?

    And now that I have time to sit and really think about it

    Age never really played that big a part in the matter at all

    Who we are

    How or if we ever decide to evolve is all about

    A choice that we decide to make or not make

    Life is the teacher and I watched him explode

    From the weight of it all

    Brooding like black faced demons

    Heaving and heavy like Hell coming to condemn in a day

    We all want to believe that we are perfectly flawless and beautiful and wonderful

    and incapable of being consistently negative

    because we are “good”

    and could never be the “they’s” the others say they arent

    The ones who are arrogant, or conceited, or liars, or thieves or murderers, or just not good people

    That we are exempt instead

    And enlightened

    But if I were just being honest

    I would confess that I too am a product of my own sins

    Cursed and plagued by all that haunts me

    That I am a human and I exist in the realm of every hypocrisy that ever existed among us
