Are You Good? Are You Sure?

If I let the darkness takeover

Will I still like who I am?

Will I take the same pride in my morals?

Will my brain just completely switch its wires

And make me feel like I'm still on the right side?

That's what happens, isn't it?

The worst form of evil is the one that's certain of its righteous

We become monsters but in order to live with ourselves

End up creating this alternate reality in our minds

Where not only we don't hide under a kid's bed

We in fact BECOME the kid

So sure of our exemption from the side that shall be fought

Scary.

Truly scary.

To know we might be stuck in wolf's clothing

But doomed to only look at a mirror that always shows a sheep's reflection.

You know what?

Punch that mirror.

Get a new one.

Actually, get THOUSANDS of them.

Odds are at least one might show you the truth, right?

I'd hope so.

Hard to face the mirror. If good or bad? Can we change? I liked the honest tone of the words and the questions asked in the words. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

and evil people can always justify there deeds,but no none of us is actually good,even the most kind does not always sway from one form of evil to another
