Poems About Life

I am but I'm not
We will but we won't
They can but they can't
We are all liars at least once
We aren't perfect
This is how we were made
Those who have the worst of it aren't punished
He would never do such a thing
People are just people
We don't understand why we do what we do
It's not within reason but we still have them
We all have reasons and we all have stories
You can't expect perfection
From something that is only mortal
Something that could never be
And even heroes make mistakes
We all want to believe they exist
But we can only imagine and keep on dreaming
And who are we to blame someone else?
We are all to blame in some way
No one should point fingers
We all want to be the perfect ones
We all want that ability
But why go through life lying to yourself and others?
When you could just accept the truth
I accept who I am as a person
I know it's all I can ever be
But I never stop letting my imagination run wild
Because it's what gets me through the day
Wishing everything could be perfect
Wishing your life could be everything you want
It won't work
You would never be satisfied
Even rich people still want more
And world peace can't ever be
Don't you understand how perfect we'd have to be?
It could never work
We can believe and dream and hope
But we need to realize the truth
We can't lie to anyone
But we all do.. at least once
We are only human...

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is just a poem about my views or people and the world in general. I have many thoughts about how the world is. I think I have a pretty good understanding but then again, something could always surprise you. I just know that the world isn't perfect and never could be. I do understand why people wish for world peace and no more war but honestly, that could never be. It's a sad fact but a fact nonetheless and I'm one of those people that wish it too. But I keep dreaming and keep hoping that things are capable of getting better.
