Sometimes
I seem to forget
For a brief moment
I seem to forget
The different layers
Of evil in the world.
For a brief moment
I am reminded
That good people
Can do bad things
That fear
Can darken a heart.
Sometimes
My heart feels darkened
Too.
Seeing that humans forget
Forget that being human
Is being unique
But part of a greater thing.
Humans can be cruel
Even not knowing it
Humans can bring sadness
To hide their own.
Maybe the hardest evil
To fight
Is that one
No one sees
Blended in with normality
Hurting another soul
Because they do not know.
Sometimes
I seem to forget
That people forget.
