How Can We Ever Be So Cold

How can we ever be so cold?

How can we ever be so hurtful?

Don’t we ever really see it?

Can we see past ourselves?

Can we not focus on those things?

That is so really truly small?

Can we not focus on those things?

That doesn’t really mean anything,

At the end of the day?

Can we not focus on moments,

Those really mean nothing

At the end of the moment?

How can we ever be so cold?

How can we ever really be so mean?

Turn our backs,

Look the other way,

Just forget everything,

And just focus on ourselves?

Don’t we know by now?

Don’t we not see the truth?

We keep on going,

We keep on moving,

But we don’t see what is around us,

Instead we are too focused,

Focused on our everyday lives,

Too focused on our own pains,

Not seeing what others might be going through,

Too focused on little things

That is so easily changed,

Do we ever just stop?

Do we ever just look?

Do we ever just take that moment?

Think about someone else,

Think about anyone else,

Ask someone how they are,

See what they are going through?

Try to put ourselves in their position?

Try to at least bring some comfort,

To those that truly are going through,

Times rough,

How can we ever be so cold?

How can we not see?

How can we keep ignoring?

Ignoring what is right in front of us?

Are we rushing through life so fast?

Are we rushing through to not at least,

Show some small encouragement?

Give a small smile?

Just to say a small hello?

Is it ever too much?

Too much to show that we care?

How can we ever be so cold?

To all those that are around us?

To those that we should care about?

Can’t we take that moment?

That moment to make even a small difference?

A small difference in this world?
