You look around,
The world is filled with many people,
Some look happy
Some sad
Some healthy and others sick
Some poor and some rich
Where do you stand?
You might know and might not know
But why do you have to stand somewhere?
Why do you need to belong on one group or the other
Are you really any of those?
Are you happy?
Sad?
You don’t know
At least you claim that you don’t
That you don’t care
And that it doesn’t matter
To fit in
To belong somewhere
Where do you belong or stand?
You haven’t forgotten where you belong
But since you are somewhere else
You can’t help but feel like you never belonged
You want to be somebody to someone
You want to help
You want to be seen by someone
You want to belong somewhere
What about you?
Are you anything to yourself?
You are a friend to many
What about being a friend to yourself?
Ever look around and realize you are rushing
But not for you
For others
You make it about them
Sometimes you give it your all
But at what cost?
Why not you?
Why listen to others
But never get heard?
Why be the friend today
But the stranger tomorrow?
Why stand by
While getting eaten away
Bits by bits?
Your time, your help
All go to waste
You look around again
Some are happy
Others are sad
Why not you?
Why don’t you allow yourself to be happy
To be the happiest
Why suppress your happiness
What are you afraid of?
Judgment?
Exclusion?
Why don’t you allow yourself to be sad
To cry
Why not you?
What are you afraid of?
You know better than anyone that things pass
You’re right that the right people exist
Don’t you ?
The world is filled with many different people
Don’t you think worrying about the those that make you afraid
Is it a waste time?
We only have so much after all
Why don’t you be you
Why don’t you do your thing in the meantime
The right people always know when to show up
Just live life
It is a gift but it will take some time to understand
But one thing to know is you gotta live it to understand it
Always remember
Why not you?
