When We Get Down To the Bottom
Life’s all about evolution.
I know I’m not who I used to be.
I look at pictures from a few years ago
and I can’t believe that it’s me.
People are constantly changing.
No one ever stays the same
yet we try to fit people into different shaped holes
we think of it like it’s a game.
We seem to think it’s so important
to categorize everyone
saying “he’s one of these” and “she’s one of those”
and we’re left all alone when we’re done.
We should all learn from each other,
help each other become our true selves.
Instead of pretending that we’re all so different
let’s forget all the lies that we tell.
And when we get down to the bottom,
the real truth in it’s purest form,
we’ll find that we’re much more alike than we’re different.
There will be no need to fight anymore.
We’ll know the truth
that we’re all the same.
We’ll see that we
can’t carry on this way.
We’ll put an end
to all our past mistake.
A little understanding
is all that it will take.
Why’s it so hard to accept that
no matter what group they are in
people are people and we all have our faults?
We never know who we’ll be in the end.
So lets all let go of our bias,
give each other a chance to evolve.
Let’s forgive past mistakes and look to the future
and let our hate be drowned out by our love.
