Observer


When I look inside their eyes

I see cries

They tell me of their woes

When they look like they're about to decompose

In public
They look idyllic

But in private

They seem to have lost their spirit

But I'm no motivationsl speaker

I'm just an observer

There's nothing I can do

WRONG!
You can wipe their tears

And become their peer

You can tell them your lows

And how you arose

No more observing

I shall be serving.
