People Seek

People Seek

People seek

But faith is hard

Not in God necessarily

But in the simple fact of goodness

Of the ability of others to love

For the faith that they are themselves lovable

Faith grows when chances are taken

Some kind of leap has to be made

Self imposed barriers

Walls

Moats

Have to be let go of

Easier to give in

Give up

Despair

No disappointment

No growth

Just safe imprisonment

Better to suffer pain

Abandonment

Fighting the pretension

That false veneer

Of not caring

When in fact the heart is breaking

Run the race

Or crawl

Limp

But just keep hoping

For people are good

And capable of love

We mirror each other

Reflection upon reflection

Each seeking the dream

Of being seen

Accepted

And simply loved
