Is It Them? Or You?

Is it them?

Or you?

Is depression, negativity, and "bad stuff" all that's in this world?

Or is it just all you choose to see?

The fact that you've no friends to talk to

No buddies to hang out with

Is it them?

Or you?

Thinking one knows all is a perfect example of ignorance

But isn't it all the same thinking you're the only one different?

Could it be that you haven't made that jump?

That willful leap into conversation or discovery of others

Something that you're afraid of, but won't admit it

Is it them?

Or you?

A kid sits alone at a table, who is scolded every day

And even though several internal nudges are received to go talk to him

You don't, because the fear of being treated like him is overwhelming

That external motivation that keeps you from progessing in life

Is it them?

Or you?

No, not everyone can be friends with you

Nor you with everyone

But who says it'll hurt if a word or two is expressed

Maybe uplifting words or just casual conversation

What's holding you back is nothing but yourself

An invisible, but solid wall

Is it them?

Or you?

Know you can make a difference, if you want to

If you want to

Let it be you, to change

Make that step
