Not My Problem.

Goldfinch60



I go through this life

Trying to be and do the best I can.

I know I am not perfect

But I am always willing to help

And will always be there for my loved ones,

My friends and those in need.

There are some though

That seem not to see

The type of person that I am,

Or am trying to be,

They always look for the bad in me,

And probably most others.

Where I always try to be good

Some people just do not respect

That I am trying to do my best;

And to these I say:

This is me,

If you don’t like it,

That is not my problem,

It’s yours.

          I hope when people judge me they look at who I am now, and not at my distant past. Some I know are stuck there, and allow no redemption arc for me. I hope never to deny anyone their redemption arc. We are all in need of redemption for something. My arc is complete, I'm content with who I am.
          Well said.
