Defenses

Do we believe in things only because they happened to us?

What if there is love, truth, justice, acceptance in this world?

What if these things do exist? What if they do happen? But just not to us?

Should we then say these aren't real? That we don't believe in them?

What if you decide to not believe in them? That they are only illusions. For the idealistic, the naive. Shards of hope to instill some sort of fantasy to make the chores of everyday life more bearable.

And then it finally comes right up to you with open arms. Will you turn it away, failing to recognise the sincerity?

Or recognise it and turn it away? Out of fear.

Maybe I can't really grow up, as some have fumed. I’m sorry to have frustrated anyone. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for I am certain your intentions were good. I can’t change very much even though I should've learnt my lessons. A part of me will always rather be gullible than overlook even an ounce of kindness.
