Good v Evil

Am I a good person?
The billion naira question.
At the end of the day?
I don’t know.
I’ve tried so hard to define myself as a bad person with good parts.
With loyalty.
I wonder why that was who I wanted to be.
I mean , I guess I do.
It’s easier if people think you’re not any good so they don’t get disappointed when you actually do bad shit.
No expectations,
No worries,
Still.
That’s all about perception and what I want people to hear. What I want people to think.
Am I good? Am I bad?
I don’t know.
Does anyone?
I don’t think anyone is capable of anything totally good or totally bad.
If I do know, Maybe I’m both.
Maybe that’s who I am.
A bad person capable of good things.
A good person who sometimes does bad things. Maybe I’m good for some people.
Maybe I’m good because of others.
I’m bad for the same reasons.
It’s a spectrum.
Where are you on the spectrum?
Where does your mind tell you that you are about to be your bad?
Where does your mind tell you that you are your good?
It’s a spectrum.
There is no good.
There is no bad.
There just is.
What can you do?
No, wait.
There IS good.
And there IS bad.
There is your perception of it.
Some people perceive things one way, and some people, another.
Everyday you shift on the spectrum.
Every day, of either, you are less of the other or more.
Change.
Changes.
Changing.
Everyday you can ask,
Am I good?
Am I bad?
Every day you will discover.
Everyday you will start to know.
Everyday is a new discovery of the depths of your good and your bad.
Well, your evil.
I don’t know why I’ve been using the word ‘bad’.
It’s your evil.
I wonder again about this question.
The relativeness of the answer.
I think to myself that I accept it.
That it’s okay.
The ranges of my good & my evil.
I accept them.
It’s who I am.
It’s who I am during change.
At the end of the day,
No one is simply good
No one is simply evil
Everyone is capable of both.
