Trade Spots
I have an idea
lets trade places.
time to see a new view of the world
interact with new faces.
I will deal with your struggles
and you can have mine.
cause I am tired of you telling me lies
telling me everything will be fine.
its time for you to see.
time for you to understand
what its like to be me.
I need a break
I want to try something new
I hear the grass in greener
but I doubt that its true.
I know you have problems
you just know how to Hide.
won't show them to the world
because you have too much pride.
but now you are are walking in my shoes.
and what you have hidden,
I will wear on my sleeves.
the truth will be written.
do your best to handle things.
lets see what you can achieve
I will do my best to handle yours,
amd maybe we will finally see and believe
I will get a better idea of who you are
cause even though I stand before you
I feel as if I stand on earth, and you live among the stars
so for us to trade places
means the truth will lift me up
and hopefully bring you back down
and you will see
that we stand on equal ground
I am not better than you
and you are NOT better than me
trading places is needed
so you can finally see
