Am I a good person?

As I sit in front of the screen

Sinking slowly into my thoughts

I hear a voice from within

That asks me, "Am I a good person?"

I try to think- Maybe I am

But it feels like a scam

Wouldn't I feel happy

If I were a good person?

I feel so lost, so unsure

So unloved, like a burden

Lost in my world, out of touch

Maybe I judge myself a little too much

I straighten my back and make up my mind

For once I'll try to choose myself

'Will I be enough?' is still a concern

But I'd like to think maybe I am a good person
