POEM: Not Surprised

I'm not surprised
when people tell me lies
try to deceive me
or rob me like I'm blind

I know it's not kind
for me to feel this way
but no matter how you say it
people always have their evil streak

I'm trying to still be compassionate
and to keep my head above water
but this daughter
is not too pleased with the behavior

cause wrong is still wrong
and we should not condone it
it may seem like a bitter pill
but we must stand for what's upright

I can't let the bad hold me back
or stop me from living
or ever stop me from giving
cause this is what drives humanity

we got to love our brother
and respect the event the simplest man
because for that we can do
we need each other to survive
