Nov 2015
It angers me when my peers are selfish and inconsiderate
And half the time I do what everyone else does
I ignore it
But on the rare days when I decide to speak up
I'm the one being ignored
Then I argue
And then I reflect
I know they're being childish and stubborn
But is what I'm doing childish as well
Is it childish to argue the small things
I don't want to be childish
But I guess I must settle sometimes
Because I'd rather be the one ignored
Than the one who ignores
Even though it's more comfortable ignoring
Even if it pushes people away
Because I believe people need to be pushed
Outside their comfort zone
If no one speaks up
They'll feel comfortable being selfish
And this world will become a place
Inhibited by people who only look out for their best interest
