Little Things
Surrounded in our negativity
Swallowed up in our captivity
Maybe it's the loss of activity
We don't see reality
We react way to aggressively
Without any creativity
We no longer see our objectivity
We won't change out perceptivity
Maybe of we open our eyes
And give other things a chance
But we go past them without a second glance
We're blind to see except want we want to see
We don't fully know who to be
Everyone needs love to have pride
But some people don't see what's already there
We just toss it back to the side
We don't see the little things
Instead concentrate on what we're missing
Don't see what truly matters
Blinded by our own desires
The answer is right in front of you
But you just hear the dissing
All the names, shouts and hissing
Will it ever change
Maybe if you do something
Your life will re-arrange
You don't need to change
Your perfect how you are
Through all the mistakes, your a shining star
You have the power to change how you act
Negativity is what's holding you back
It's want making you crack
It's just the confidence you lack
Confidence to take a step forward
And step out of the hole
Just start climbing
Climb up the pole
At the top is a prize
If you kept going you'll realize
That you didn't give up for a reason
Not now, not ever, not a another season
Because people are waiting
Seeing you break
They've seen your fall
Now they can watch you rise
If only we
We no longer surrounded on our negativity
Or swallowed up in our captivity
If we do more activity
And we see reality
We don't react aggressively
We have more creativity
We change our prospectivity
Something in our minds will ring
We finally see the things
