I've Been Deceived

No one likes to admit they have ever been deceived,
But I have been.

God only knows all the ways I have been deceived,

But thankfully He does not leave us alone here on this earth 

And reveals to us things in His time.

At least, this has been the case for me.

I think this is the case for others as well,

But alas, I can only tell my own story.

My first deception was thinking that I am the most important one.

Bred from childhood, but not caused by caregivers which were my parents.

This is innate,

But is the fall of mankind that distorted our value to being the most important person in the room. 

People are valuable.

This is truth - But not the full truth.
