Superiority

It is hard not to speak out,
When you think someone has said,
Something, not for the content of the sentence,
But only to strike you dead.

Is it hard not to realize when your actions,
Stem from exclusionary thoughts?
Is it the nature of every human being,
To prove yourself by proving others are not?

I only ever want to be given,
The benefit of the doubt.
When anything at all's absolutely possible,
Why bring the absolutely most degrading out?

And it's alright,
Even if the world runs this way,
I guess I can shrink myself into my own little one,
Where everyone thinks everyone is okay.
