Speaking in third person
It promotes self reflection
I have enough love for myself
And I love my perfect imperfections
And that's all you need to know
Because unlike butterflies
We have a choice to grow
& the option to let go
Even though not all change is excepted
Life keeps moving and we have to respect it
I used to be stuck in limbo with like minded friends
Losing myself to all these unnecessary trends
Made mistakes everyday..again and again
But everyday I remind myself I can never revert
To a path so cold, to a future untold
I appreciate any of my pain caused from others
To all those who let me down one after the other
I no longer seek validation
I gather that from within
I no longer seek love without being a friend
Nothing else can be built without that foundation
I see humans with no humanity
80% of people focused on their vanity
Little do people know that all colors agree in the dark
We pride ourselves on being heartless
Trust, loyalty, and respect have become a luxury
We create barriers with skin color, sexuality and religion
Forcing the real us to keep quiet and stay hidden
We seek sympathy over empathy
Materialism before love
People who don't get when enough is enough
Can we turn back or have we gone to far
National atrocities leaving permanent scars
We've worked so hard to build where we are now
Just to throw it all way
People strive off comments and likes
Social media has become a comfortable prison
It's the ones that crave understanding that never seem to listen
My faith in humanity will never waiver
Even if most are liars and certified haters
We shouldn't be content with temporary
So let's take a step back
Balance our priorities
Give more effort to things that mean more to me
Focus on the depths of the soul
Instill humanity again, that should be the goal
