Introspective

Introspective Shine a light inwards for a different perspective Just trying to figure out what my place in this mess is So I can leave it better once I've finally left it We're living life in the strangest of times Feels like two steps forward but three steps behind Compassion and empathy are short in supply But the demand has never ever been this high Now I'm taking time to consider my complicity How much of this problem starts from inside of me Am I failing myself or hurting society As bad as those I blame for all the insanity In hushed tones I've spoken words I can't stand behind At times I've stifled voices that were different than mine I may never agree but I gotta keep an open mind Instead of shutting down dialogue and polarizing sides As we bust through the roadblocks and shatter the ceiling For the haves, having less is a hard kind of feeling Doesn't justify hate even if they've been reeling Pushing pain ain't the way, we all need to push healing So I'm introspective Shine a light inwards for a different perspective Just trying to figure out what my place in this mess is So I can leave it better once I've finally left it I'm introspective
