Lost in a world I cannot understand.
Why others don’t reach out to one another baffles me.
Always willing to lend a helping hand, so sad more people can’t see,
All that they have to be thankful for,
Why have so many settled for less than they deserve?
Some walk through life so quickly, it’s all a blur.
Living for the future, forgetting what is now.
The sounds of this city are too loud.
Simple desires go unheard.
Why do they walk with their heads held down?
Everyone is blessed with some innate gift,
Afraid to embrace the unknown,
Not always on the surface sometimes you must dig.
Trapped in a society of modesty and travesty…
Watching those who will step on the toes of all who stand in their way,
Ignoring all they come across, forgetting to live for today.
Lost in a world I cannot understand.
Why others don’t reach out to one another baffles me.
Always willing to lend a helping hand, so sad more people can’t see,
The beauty within the cracks beneath their feet…
Loving someone so much that you are swept away.
All these things we take for granted.
It’s such a shame.
The small complexities overlooked by so many.
On our way somewhere but always late,
In life do we truly know where we are going?

It's really is a shame how much we take things for granted, and not realizing it until it's to late or something happens that could have been pervented.
