Maybe it sounds hypocritical, but I do feel sorry for someone...
Someone who had tried so hard, maybe too hard...
To meet the high standards people apply to him/ her.
Efforts go unnoticed,
And people took them for granted,
Mistaken for hypocrisy alongside the care and concern.
and yes, I am one of those guilty ones.

Most of the time, we fail to recognise that we have character faults which we condemn in others.
And we quickly lauch a personal attack to disprove his/ her arguement.
By accusing the person of hypocrisy...
By passing a death sentence.
And yes, I am guilty...

How often do we reflect upon ourselves that we have overlooked the faults within us,
How often do we apply the standards we have set for others, to ourselves...
And yes, I am guilty...

Be it true concern or pure sympathy,
Someone's words did have an impact on me when I was at my most down.
Someone gave me some hope,
And I realised it a lil' too late.
And yes, I am guilty...

Fact of life; People only realise the importance of someone after they have lost him/ her.
Just like how people only speak of the good about the dead.
Why didn't the praises come earlier, or the efforts been recognised before Judgement Day...
