I Have No Worries

I had faith once, when I was young. I had faith that maybe tomorrow you’d be nice to me. I had faith that everything you said was wrong. I had faith that one day you’d see how much I actually care. I had faith; in all the wrong things. Just like you showed me.

I had faith that the world was fair. I had faith that good people care. I had faith in mankind because mankind was bigger than me.

I had faith when I was a kid and you isolated me for 101 days in solitary confinement that there was something better than that. And when you let me free you showed me how wrong I was. I had faith the world was fair and good people amount to something.

All these things. All this faith. It all amounts to nothing. Because expectations are resentments in disguise.

You’d think I’ve lost faith by now. But you’d be wrong. I still have faith in the overall impenetrating equality of life. In that all is well and good in the big picture.
