Open Your Eyes

 

Everyday brings new problems

If it is not one thing, it is another

And you always find something to complain about

And it is never your fault

 

People are angry with you

And you seem to not know why

People are in tears over you

But it passes you by

 

You sit and say you have no idea

Why things are falling apart

You blame others for the demise

Of the empire you believe you built

 

The truth is things get better

In the time you were away

And it is only since your return

That the cracks are showing again

 

You bring hurt and pain

With every word you say

Every action you make

Brings a little more destruction

 

Will, you ever wake up to see?

The trail of hurt you have caused

Or are you so self centered

That you only care about you?

 

Please open your eyes

To see the pain and hurt in people’s eyes

And realise what you are doing

Before anyone else get hurts
