Our Nature

The only thing we fear is ourselves

and that's the way it should be

because the heart I see within myself

sure scares the hell out of me.



Where once we loved we only hate

and cause eachother so much pain

the pain that we cause others

is slowly driving us insane.



The petty differences divide

a once true allied force

help eachother in the end

that didn't last of course.



We are blind to all the people

who don't see things as we do

and the sad thing about all this

is this includes both me and you.



I can't really preach

I am just like all the rest

but if this was ever god's exam

we sure as hell did fail his test.

The first stanza and the last stanza made it worth while. You would have done just as well cutting out the middle, but it added some detail, I suppose. In any case, this one's up there on the good list. I'm glad you're keeping rather steady now.
