mostly

I'd like to tell you that
my intentions are always pure
and that I strive for the greater good

mostly this is true

I'd like to say that
I'm hardly ever self absorbed
and I strive for equality

Mostly this is true

I don't have the courage to say
that I put myself above all others
and I watch for what may please me

Mostly this never happens

It is a very rare day when it does
and the results are never good overall
but satisfying

Mostly
