I need to look at
someone else's problems
my mind's too set on
watching my own
I see my mind's puzzles
and I try to solve them
so I don't acknowledge
what I've never known
out on the street
other people have troubles
with money and family
and God knows what else
here I live alone
safe in my little bubble
thinking too much
about saving myself
someone else's problems
are just as important than mine
to be so self-centered
should be a crime
in tents on the sidewalk
some people are living
other people are so lonely
it swallows them whole
life in this world
is so unforgiving
it jangles your senses
and pierces your soul
someone else's problems
make mine look so small
still I keep trying
to make sense of it all
so today I will think about
someone else's problems
and I will tell myself
there's nothing I can do
yet a whole lot of people
are trying to dissolve them
the excuses I make
none of them are true
