Person You Truly Are

By Colten Ellis

People say we're
All different
People say We're
All the same
There are always
Opinions that
Oppose one another
You could be the
Smartest person
Yet people still
Disagree with you
It's just human nature
What I believe though
Is that no one is different
Because everyone has the
Same potential
To hurt, lie
To love, heal
The only difference
Between everyone
Is how we decide
To utilize those abilities
It's all up to you
To pick which to use
And which to toss
Best option is
To spend little time
Dwelling on the past
Just learn from mistakes
And hope others see
The person you trully are
