All of Us

This comes from all the Perfect people in the world

This is about the 'Others'

Liars Cheats and Thieves

Beautiful people who do ugly things
We can never understand them

The ones who can't get their acts together

and break our hearts finding their way

Free Spirits with broken wings

they do not take us flying with them
but come to us to fix them

Friends who take us for granted

- there when we are on top of the world

- nowhere when we are down in the pits

Friends who ignore our existence

- but always find us when they need us

- seeking us with empty compliments and useless platitudes

She who will not think twice about dating that One that broke your heart

He who borrows your hard-earned money and then acts like he owns the world
the ones who never invite you to the party

Self-destructive and us-destroying

Sinners who judge

Lovers who take but never give

New friends; Old friends
Unreal friends
Imperfect parents
Flawed relatives
Ungrateful children

Confidants who talk about our secrets
-like it's just today's news

- because to them that's all it really is

The Church preaching to the Choir

The Choir singing repentance to the Church

The gossipy virgin; The upstanding adulterer

Abusive, cheating husbands and their disrespectful, conniving wives

All the people we love who do not love us back

And the ones who say they love us but only know how to hurt us

Fanatics, Selfish

Prejudiced, Selfish

Judgmental, Selfish

Backstabbing, Selfish

Heartbreakers, Selfish

Uncaring, Selfish

Unfeeling, Selfish

We think these of everyone

Everyone thinks the same of us

In the end we are all of us

We are all perfectly the same

Taking and not giving

Making the world better and not getting better ourselves

You are me, and I am you

And that's all of us
