People Help The People

Standing on the outside looking in
at all of these broken people
Pretending to be
somebody they're not

 I remember what that felt like,
to be broken...

There seemed to always be someone to impress
Always someone looking down on you
And not even the strongest drug could fix
the sadness that ran through you

Being with so many people
yet feeling completely alone
Having long conversations
about absolutely nothing
It was like
Going to the most amazing restaurants
and only ordering a side salad

I took a couple steps back and realized
There's so much more to life than which side of the knight you sit on
And what your social status was in High School

Sometimes all we need is a reality check to help you realize that life's good, and if it isn't then take a few steps back and maybe then you'll see why.
