Personal Problems

Everywhere you go there will be people,
And you're a person.  People everywhere are the same.
So, never leave to escape or hide from personal problems.
They will just find you in a different domain.

Someone will always love you.  Someone will always hate you.
Someone will always agree with you; someone will always debate you.
Someone will come and bless you.  Someone will come and curse you.
Someone will approach to help you, and someone will try to hurt you.
Someone will always befriend you.  Someone will always desert you.
Someone will always uplift you, while someone tries to subvert you.

Someone will always be true to you.  Someone will always lie to you.
Someone will always laugh at you.  Someone will always cry with you.
Someone will open up to you, while someone there will deny you.
Someone will stop and recognize you, and someone will pass on by you.
Someone will always take from you.  Someone will always give with you.
Someone will always be for you, while someone else is against you.

No matter where you are and no matter where you go,
Hidden, you will find personal problems remain.
You cannot escape people, and you will always be a person. 
And people everywhere are the same.
