All It Takes

I know I'm not the best person in the wourld,
Or the nicest strogest, or most caring.
But I try.
Everyday I try to forgive,
Try to learn from everything I have done.
I don't have forever to show people how much I care.
Because tomorrow might be too late.
We don't know what fate holds for us,
behind those thick curtains of doubt.
But we can try and make our lives all it can be.
All it takes is a simple smile,
to someone you loathe with all your being.
A friendly wave to someone who has done you wrong.
The acceptance of someone you could never forgive.
All it takes is trust.
I know it is hard to trust that there are good people in the world,
But someone has to,
and if everyone trusts that there are good people,
then everyone could be a better person.
Maybe my hopes are in vain,
But I know what hatered feels like.
That burning passion is something I don't want to relive.
I also know what love feels like.
I love with a burning passion,
far larger than that of hate.
So, I'll say it again.
If everyone could just love,
could just trust with all their heart,
Then maybe, just maybe,
We might get somewhere.
