Faith and the Child, or the Sea

When did people become so bad?
Or why I didn’t deteriorate with them
They moved forward,
I’ve been left behind
That’s how I felt when I stood at the foot of the slope and looked down
Life flows, people deteriorate with it
So why didn’t I catch up with them?
My inner child always chose to fall for them
She believed in them unconditionally
But when was that child going to grow up?
Perhaps she never wanted to grow up
If she didn’t grow up, she wouldn’t be able to catch up with life
People would continue to deceive her
But that child would never grow up
And she could not grow up
Because if she grew up
She would be just as bad as any other person

But the child in me never wanted to be bad
So she promised herself at the top of the slope
No matter how upset you are
No matter how much they break you
You won’t be like them
If you don’t want to catch up with life
But you won’t be like them
The day you start to look like them
Pandora’s door opens
You’ll go black
You’ll never get yourself out of there.
She said it, but she didn’t mean it
She didn’t want to fight the evil because she never did
She didn’t want to be a slave to people either.
What was she going to do?
She decided to ask the girl inside
The girl was lurking aside, just watching her.
She was upset when she didn’t get an answer, she thought she’d lost her.
The girl finally answered
She should just look at how beautiful the sea is right now.
We exist in this moment
I can’t think about tomorrow
All I want to think about is the ice cream I am going to have when I wake up.
At that moment I realized, she was right
She was right
If I force myself not to be worse
I’d be worse than everyone else
So I listened to the girl.
I just watched the sea
Until my heart is filled with peace
Forever and ever.
