Outside Looking In
In your mind, you walk into the same trap, you never seem to escape from.
Chasing the things you wish for yourself, and they never seem to come.
You turn around and settle for mediocre things that do,
All the while, letting resentment and bitterness grow inside of you.
You envy those that seem to live without pain or care,
And you watch them as they stick their noses up at the sight of your stare.
You walk through life believing that for you, there's not a purpose,
Never listening to the people who say it's not true.
But you're so ignorant, in believing that all your worth is on the surface,
Even though, what's on the inside is what holds all your value.
After years of discontentment, you finally look within, and in your mind set free,
Realizing that acceptance of self was, in fact, the key to becoming the person you always wished to be.
