Sitting on the edge looking in
Always on the bubble
Watching as the world marches on
Constantly trying to make your voice heard
But always ignored
It isn’t about trying to fit in
There are things going on, stories that need to be told, issues that need to be addressed
But everything keeps falling on deaf ears
Society keeps failing those who are asking for help
Blame keeps being put on the wrong person
Perception is keeping individuals from seeing (and understanding) the reality of challenges that others are facing
The gap keeps growing and creating more misunderstandings, spreading misinformation
Its easier to believe a lie than the truth
Until it’s too late
Lives get destroyed because no one stepped up or stepped in
The system is broken
The human connection is vanishing
From where I sit, if I were to disappear, I doubt anyone would notice
I’ve already proven it with a handful of people
Not a peep from people who I thought cared
The blame being put on me for a situation I didn’t create
Should the dust ever settle, A TON of bridges will have burned
And I have no interest in mending any of them
True colors have shown themselves
Words can’t even begin to convey the betrayal
There’s so much I want to say, but I know very well it’s only going to fall on deaf ears
Minds have been made up
Opinions have been formed
Lines have been drawn in the sand
Until you put your foot where your mouth is, words are useless without action
As one who is sitting on the other side of the fence…
