If We...
If we are delicate,
Why do others delight in our frailty
If we are innocent,
Why do others relish in our misjudgement
If we are kind,
Why do others venture out to harm those we hold dear
If we are courageous,
Why do others seek to push us down
If we are wise,
Why do others strive to make us fall
If we are honest,
Why do others attempt to cheat the cards of truth
If we stop,
Why do others still have the desire to keep pursuing
But if we stand up...
Will they even try a second time?
