Upon Fallen Hearts

Sometimes I sit back and wonder

Why are there bad people

why is there blackness in our hearts

That covers up the goodness

the light inside

Why is it that

darkness so much more dominate

Why must we always feed that darkness

Why is it so much harder to be good

Harder to find our light

I want to shine out bright

but when things get hard

it makes it harder to be bright

sometimes I feel

like there is that same darkness in me

and that its trying to claw its way out

I believe that

no matter how dark the heart is

there will always be a light

deep inside burning bright

they just didn't have the strength

to fight the darkness

and are consumed by it

I look at these

fallen hearts

not with anger

or hatred

but with pity and sadness

I do not look down

Upon Fallen Hearts.
