I want to be a good person.

Summary:

A short story (?) i wrote about wanting to be a good person despite having major flaws, i made this at 4am

 

It's okay to be scared, it's okay to be uncertain, it's okay to be at a loss, all that matters is that, at the end of the day, you get back up.

Notes:

Thank you for reading this.
From the bottom of my heart: You can do it.

Work Text:

I want to be a good person. 

I chase my goal at a steady pace. 

I chase my goal at a steady pace until my legs give out. 

 

I want to be a good person. 

 

Despite my tired legs I go on, not because I like the burn in my knees or the strain in my shins, but because no one can move me but myself. 

 

I want to be a good person. 

But I am a human being, and thus I am flawed. 

 

I am flawed, yet I keep moving. Not because my flaws don't hurt others, but because despite my flaws, I am human and I deserve the same love as anyone else. 

 

I want to be a good person. 

 

I want to help people get back up. 

I want to help people regain what they've lost. 

 

An objective far too large for one girl as small as i feel:

 

I want to save others from the same cruelty that shaped me. 

 

It doesn't matter how far I am beat down. 

It doesn't matter what I have to face. 

It doesn't matter what I have to learn. 

It doesn't matter what I have to resort to. 

 

I will get back up. 

 

I may be scared. 

I may be angry. 

I may have no idea what to do.

 

But as long as I get back up we will be okay. 

 

I want to be a good person, yet, I am flawed. 

 

I want to be a good person, yet, I am flawed, but that's okay. 

 

Because my flaws allow me to help others just as much as my strengths do.
