See for Yourself
By Mark
Today I saw something
Something I didn't understand.
I still don't
Don't want to
But I saw it
Did it really matter?
Not to me
I wasn't involved
I just watched
But what if
What if
What if it was me?
Would I want me to help?
Get others involved?
Share a part of me?
Why do I care?
It wasn't me
I'm ok
Today is today
Tomorrows another
Do I worry for tomorrow?
Why don't I care?
Others don't care?
Would they watch?
Then walk by
I did
They will
Someone will
Someone always does
Stop to care
A sufferer will always suffer
A carer will always care
Those who suffer care
Those who care suffer
They are all one
Some heal
Some bleed
Some don't see
Some don't care
I don't understand
Do I want to?
Do I need to?
Don't touch me
Leave me
I have me
I care for me
I suffer with me
I don't want to see
Understand
Just leave me
Let me look
Let me walk by
It's my life
I'm happy
Just go away
Take your care
Take your worry
Take your suffering
I don't take
I don't give
I fill my space
I know where I am
I'm not in your face
Take me out of yours
I know my place
Leave me
I am what I need
My life is as
I like it as is
Just leave me
Just a few words in admiration of all those
People who don't give a damn
About the world around them
After all,
What's wrong with living your own life,
As you want to
