I have been around the block a couple of times
So it's pretty safe to say that I have seen a lot of things in my life
But what never ceases to amaze me
Is how people seem to be so easily led astray
And how easy it is for people to accept things
Without really thinking it through
There are so many things in this world
That just seem to be blatant
That a lot of people just don't seem to see
Or at least they just don't choose to accept it
They would much rather live in ignorance
Then to wake up and see what is right in front of their faces
When it comes down to it
Most things that are a quick fix
Are almost never really worth it when you actually come down to it
Most of the things that we tell ourselves
That make us feel like somehow we are better
Like our truth
Our way of doing things
Is the right way
And that everybody else
Who doesn't follow our way is somehow wrong
We are all humans
Just trying to find our way
And no matter how confused
Our lost
Our angry some people make me
Even I have to look back
And realize
That's just how some people are
And even though it might seem like
People are confusing sometimes
I have to be able to look back and try and understand
Where they are coming from
