Portrait
Waking up I saw you.
The person you have become.
Someone who is selfish.
Living as the only one.
Watching out for your own.
Not a care in the world.
Did anyone ever say to you
This simply cannot be done?
Pushing away the well meaning hand.
Giving others a piece of your mind.
Thinking really nobody cares.
Living in blindness of your own skin.
You ask for the advice
Then twist what others say
Doing exactly what you please.
Laughing in the face of others pain.
Life can be a friend if you take the helping hand.
Do not think that you have become so pious.
Listen to the wise people who are true.
Ones who care whether or not you succeed.
I have news for you that may shock you.
The world is full of other people.
You are not the only one who exsists.
Nor do you have power to orbit the sun.
