"Just Think For A Moment"

Just think for a moment
For someone other than you
Put yourself in their place
For just a minute or two

Reflect for a second
With empathy in mind
Relate if you can
Try to be kind

What if that person was you
Somehow being mistreated
Never in any way feeling welcome
Not at all feeling needed

Feeling obvious and alone
A sore thumb sticking out
Confidence torn away
Experienced with doubt

Expert in rejection
No matter the crowd
Forget the accomplishments
Forget being proud

It should be surreal
Then again it may not
Just think for a moment
That's all I've got.

"I Can't Breathe"

I can't breathe
Haven't a choice
I can't breathe
Hear my voice

I can't breathe
This must stop
I can't breathe
F**k this cop

I can't breathe
This must end
I can't breathe
Hear me friend

I can't breathe
It's too late
I can't breathe
Hear my fate

I can't breathe
So much to do
I can't breathe
We hear you

I can't breathe
I feel your hand
I can't breathe
Now we stand.
