I sped for it, I broke the rules.
I done what I thought was needed.
I played a game that had a inevitable end, well that it seemed so.
I failed, the feeling of failure, the feeling of unsuccessful guilt.
My ego had arisen...
It creept inside, torn the layers down and laid down its sense of doubt and missery.
I was feeling i had no chance to hold what I desired...
I walked and struggled the roads of business and fashion.
Felt rejected and pushed aside by the public normality figures.
An object of no use in a city of used.
Then aside, a man.
A man with no path.
No hope.
No power.
No sense of direction.
A man that has come to a close end of no repair.
'My name is so, I am homless, please help"
This man had a look of sadness, one arm, hardly Any clothes, and no home.
He was sat there on the stairs of a fine rich bank.
A bank with everything
A man with nothing outside of something with everything.
And everyone that walked out of this place acheived something had one thing.
A home.
Money.
Power.
Hope.
They had some direction.
Hopeless as I see it they had it.
And they had no sense to stop for him.
They had a ego. Worser then I had.
This man was in pain.
He was suffering.
And no one stopped to assist.
Where they were going, he was not.
I stopped and the selfish sad ego I had of losing opportunity stopped.
This man had less then I lost. Less then I already had.
I walked past with a glance and a feeling.
Why was I acting like this?
When there are worse out there.
I stood on the corner of busy lights and pondered.
Should I keep walking?
Or should I be greatful for what I have.
This person needs help.
Can I make a difference and help.
I turned around and walked back.
And with one kind gesture I handed him my change and said...
"Here is some change. Buy yourself some food"
And as I took my glasses off and looked him in the eyes with emotion. I told him what I needed to tell myself...
"I hope all gets better, Cause in the end.... It will my friend"
He smiled and said thank you and I exchanged a smile back.
And as I walked away... I started to cry.
I cried because how dare I think my life was bad because a missed opportunity.
His opportunity, his life got hard when he lost his home and his arm.
How dare I let my ego over rule me.
And as I cried, as I walked out of this selfish city. I prayed.
I blessed.
That I'm am so lucky to have the life I've been given.
The experiences.
The people.
The love.
Even though it is how it is
And so be it, how date I...
Don't ever take it for granted.
Whether your happy or sad.
