My friends support me, privately
Mostly in their hearts
My enemies rage against me, publicly
Using all the social platforms
I feel I’m inspiring lives
Obviously I’m creating barriers
I believe I’m building bridges
But the walls speak louder
The wall builders have every reason
To be angry with me because
I am building bridges with the tools
That could have been used to build walls
They are totally public yet highly rivalrous
But the question is what am I doing?
.
If I don’t know who I am
I would believe the obvious
Actually if I don’t know who’s I AM
I probably would have been lost
In the midst of the endless negativities I see
I found hope in timeless words I often don’t see
It is easier to tell someone how to calm a storm
When you have never witnessed a tempest
But when the wind is boisterous
You will almost forget that you are alive.
.
I am telling you someone’s story
Someone that’s dear to you
But you don’t know
Someone you know so well
But don’t know how they are doing
Someone that needs you
But you care less about their needs
Someone that needs your attention
But you think they have enough
Someone that’s living with you
But you don’t know how they’re living.
.
I need a little help from you
Just check in on your friends and family members
Even if they seem to be doing well
What you see outside, especially on social media
Is not really what is happening inside
And you checking in may just be
The difference between resting and taking a rest.
And you checking in may just be the difference between resting and taking a rest
