"FEW OF US"............

FEW OF US REALIZE
HOW MUCH WE REALLY MATTER
FEW OF US EVER SEE
HOW MUCH WE AFFECT
OUR LITTLE NICHE OF THE COSMOS
FEW OF US EVER COMPREHEND
OUR TRUE VALUE
OUR GREAT WORTH
NOR WHERE OTHERS WOULD BE
WITHOUT US
LIKE GEORGE BAILEY
WE REMAIN OBLIVIOUS
TO HOW WORSE OFF
THIS WORLD WOULD BE
HAD WE NEVER BEEN BORN
WE HIDE FROM OUR EYES
ALL THE GOOD WE HAVE DONE
YET FORCE OURSELVES
TO STARE FIXATEDLY
AT ALL OUR MISTAKES
ALL OUR ERRORS IN JUDGMENT
TURNING OUR FACES AWAY
FROM OUR CLOSEST ALLY
REJECTING OURSELVES
HURTING OURSELVES
WORSE THAN ANY ENEMY
EVER COULD
WE ARE WHO WE ARE
YET WE ARE NOT
ALL WE WISH TO BE
AND FOR THIS
WE HATE OURSELVES
ALL THE MORE
WE MUST JOIN HANDS
WITH OURSELVES
WE MUST REACH DOWN
AND PULL OURSELVES UP
WE MUST SUPPORT OURSELVES
IN JUST BEING WHO WE ARE
WE MUST LOOK IN THE MIRROR
AND LIKE WHAT WE SEE
BEFORE WE CAN EVER HOPE
TO SEE MORE
