in just a blink

you try hard to be more kind
to the unkind,

more understanding of the misunderstood,
compassionate

to the mean.
more loving to the unloved.

you reach out and forgive
the unforgiveable.

you try hard to take
the higher ground, to be

a better person than you
were the day
before,

but it's harder than you think.
it's tough.

we have both
sides within us, depending
on so much.
