Perspective

Locked, squared away with ur own problems that swirl
Don’t even have to leave, just for a minute, step out of ur world
Then U realize there is others that make U think 
The ones who have been pushed to the brink

U know U could end up like that with a quickness
With problems, all it takes is someone to be in ur business
Some people just jealous they have problems that U don’t
They see fit to come into ur world and try to quote

Problems!!

That’s the way the world is now, leaving U no answers to solve them
Life is uncertain, at times even like a coin flip
Try not to fall
Try not to trip

Remember it’s not what in front of U always from the start
It’s how U interpret it in ur mind and heart
