sometimes i just
say what i think,
because once
i'm gone
what else of me
is there
anywhere
in
    the
         universe?

when you
already have
something,
you take that
thing for granted.

when you have
the better of
something,
you take for
granted those
who have less.

what you have
reached, you
expect others
to also reach.

but you
are not everyone,
and everyone
is not you.

some of what
you have,
i do not.
and some of
what i have,
she does not.

you should be
looking below you,
not above.
that is where you
will find the answers.

if everyone is
reaching below
and
lifting up
no one
is left behind.
