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

Dismissing negativity, we would not be captured, but be what God made us to be!
