I want to put my secrets on the page,

Put them there and leave them behind.

But words just cant capture the rage,

The rage that seems to ensnare my mind.

There are many points in the day in which I wish I could yell my secrets out to the world. Like Postsecret, I yearn for someone to know my inner most thoughts and not hate me for them. I want someone who understands me. But, doesn’t everyone? Isn’t that what people look for in love? I wouldn’t say I’m looking for love, but I would say that I’m looking for that intimate connection that comes with knowing someone on such a deep level, that it feels as if you’re connected by some other force. But, I guess it’s also the basic human instinct to share your pain with someone else. I mean, when someone hurts me, I want to hurt them back. But, I’ve realized that doing so achieves nothing. It just introduces more hate and pain into an already painful and hurting world. What we need to do is for every act of violence, rudeness, and meanness introduce an act of kindness, sympathy, and love. Maybe then, we can counteract the force of evil in our world. I know it’s probably just wishful thinking, but I believe that if just a few people follow this philosophy, then it can better their lives and the lives of those around us.

This is something I’m going to call the A Good for an Evil philosophy.
