Early morning I wake up warmly wrapped on my bed;
Leaving my dreams of bright days into a dark and cold room.
The sky is so gloomy with a new day ahead–
It’s so unwelcoming I don’t want to move.
To get up and enter the busy city streets
Filled with millions of faces I may never meet.
A mesh of faces of different colors, different size,
People who blend in, people who stand out.
But in the end they all have the same thing in mind.
Without a doubt it’s a single track mind:
“I need to get here. I need to get there”
And you better watch out if you dare to interfere.
Their eyes show concern for their troubles for their problems.
So wrapped up in their world they forget about the world.
So caught up in me, myself and I,
There’s no room to stop or to say hi.
But it’s okay, it’s alright
I’ll just do my thing and live my life.
This peace I got is contagious;
People get dumbfounded by patience,
Kindness makes them stop and think,
And their hearts change when encountered with innocence.
So, I’ll live as me and I’ll do my thing
I won’t let the crowd and mesh get to me
Avoiding the mindset of just me in my life
So my conscience is free of the thought:
“You’re just like the others.”
