Can you see the beauty all around you?

It passes you by,

But you pay no mind.

Could you appreciate me if I told you,

You were great?

Would you just pass me by?

You stay in your own mind,

You don’t pay attention to what is happening around you,

You don’t even care if you don’t have anyone,

You don’t love anyone except yourself,

And you don’t live your life.

You just walk around like a lifeless tree.

You don’t see that little girl who is homeless.

You don’t see that man who is in desperate need.

You just bury your head in the sand,

And walk on by.

How can someone be so heartless?

That’s why you are alone.

That’s why no one even pays you any mind.

That’s why I don’t care about you anymore.
