Rough Statistic

Somebody faceless

They asked me today

"With what eyes do you see?

Is the world beautiful to you?"



I found their question troubling

I could hear sincerity in their voice

Though I could make no distinction

I reflected, and saw a bitter standing



"I've learned from my experiences

And I've found so little things worth my time

For every good person with a great idea

I've found ten criminals with no ideas of their own.



I hate people and don't trust them

I hate myself and it'll probably never change

But.. I have met some good, pure-hearted souls

And I find that they're the only ones worth praying for."



Suddenly his expression became clear to me

He waved a sad goodbye and wiped several tears away

And I stood there, wondering when I had changed into this

Because, years ago, I thought of myself as normal.



I've learned otherwise.
