i know people that are too good for this world
a world that always seems to be testing them.
the best people are always being challenged
like the world keeps asking,
"how long until you break?
how long will you continue to be kind?
how long will you continue to be happy?"
and they almost shatter.
i've seen it happen time and time again.
and, yet, they are far too good to be
broken so easily.
i've seen them get back up
time and time again.
i've seen them wipe their tears
and stand up tall as if daring the world
to try and take the smile off their face.
i know people that are
far too good for this world.
i hope that, eventually, the world will
realize that they will never be broken,
that these attempts to break them
are futile.
they are warriors
with bright grins
and kind words.
too good for this world
and everything it
throws at them.
far too g o o d.
