A Heavy Question


How do you define a "good person" Is it someone who does everything right Someone who doesn't relive their past late at night Is it someone who has made no mistakes Someone who does not know how it feels when their heart breaks Is it someone who always says the right things Someone who has not been knocked down by what life brings Is it someone who is always kind Someone who can always ease your mind Is it someone that you see in me Someone you wish I could be Would you think any less of me if I told you I do not do everything right I am someone who relives their past late at night Would you think any less of me if I told you I have made mistakes I am someone who knows how it feels when their heart breaks Would you think any less of me if I told you I do not always say the right things I am someone who has been knocked down by what life brings Would you think any less of me if I told you I am not always kind I am someone who cannot always ease your mind Would you think any less of me if I told you that was not me I am someone you did not wish for me to be Now that you know who I am, I will ask again How do you define a "good person"
