naivety

why are people so cruel?

what happened to kindness?

it was lost somewhere 

between the ego and the madness 


fumbling over empathy 

losing all of its mildness 

and i’m still choking 

on all of my gullible blindness 


when do you lose sight 

of who you were regardless?

and when do you forget 

that i am still full of gentleness?


that i can still be so hurt 

is this considered my weakness?
