Integrity

Spread the Love

By Kayton HickenlooperPublished 8 years ago 1 min read

Why do we hate

In a world full of beauty

Why do we hurt

When we should love

To tear people down

To wish harm amongst another

To steal

To cheat

To lie

I ask you why

What does it do

Does it give you a high

Just so you can have instant regret

When you realize what it has done

Why hate

When we are born as one

We walk down paths

No one knows

Living in our heads

Praying to stay afloat

Life is crazy as it is

Without the help of being judged

Look at the beauty

Within the eyes

Where your story holds

What magic can unfold

Believe in you

Because you know

Truth lies in what's untold

About the Creator

Kayton Hickenlooper

I write to clear my mind. To get out of the fog of daily confusion. An artist by heart. To live, laugh, and grow.
