To those who need to

hear it,

I need you

to know that I feel

what you do.


But while there is so much

bad in the world,

there is so much

good.

And I've spent the better part of my life,

wondering if I've understood

how that can be.


I think I get it now.

People suck and it's hard

to take the upper hand

but sometimes you have to.

Because

in the end,

the only thing that really matters

is that they always mean well.
