What do we deserve?

We have to power to remember things and have memories,
Yet we forget the beautiful ones and hold on to the ones that would eat us up. 

We have the ability to help, praise, love, sacrifice, 
But we choose to hurt. 

We can choose to stand up after we fall,
But we choose to lay and stay paralyzed. 

We have the ability to speak, and make actions that could show appreciation,
Yet we never do them until we're at the funeral of our loved ones. 

We always have people we hold dearly in our hearts,
But they are the same people we are most far away from.

We have can always forgive, and if we're lucky, we'll be able to forget,
But we've never really gave ourselves the chance to do either of them. 

We have people we truly love,
But we choose to hurt the ones who we love the most. 

We please the ones who we never want to have a future with,
And we throw anger at the ones who means the world to us. 

Who are we to deserve all of the beautiful abilities that God gave us just to use them in the opporsite way?  

Do we really deserve anything at all? 
I guess we don't.
