Point of View

It's funny how people can judge from 
only their point of view.
Laugh at you constantly without
knowing what your going through.
See their all naive, never getting 
to know the true you.
So their stuck with only a birds eye view.

And it's crazy how quickly a persons
world can come trembling down.
Walk around with a smile that soon 
turns into a frown.

But no one truly cares what goes
through the others persons mind.
Not acknowledging that every person
is one of a kind.

We're so quick to judge, laugh and
point the finger. 
As we fail to fix up our own demeanor.

How long will it take for us to realize
that the smiles are just there to cover up the cries.
Now I'm not saying that we should build them up with 
beautiful lies.
But the next time you speak of someone
please be wise.
