A Good Person

But really you are not
Everyone loves their mother
Well almost
And mother loved, as most do,
You too much
But it doesn’t make you
Or any of us
And really you are not inside

I am though
Shall I prove it in a day
When today I was not
But it is in the way perhaps
I don’t and you do
Proving and trying to prove is
Well trying
I am though inside
