No better, know better.

Its not always obvious, but there are subtle reminders.

We get lost in our egos, its hard to recognize us.

Just because your struggles are seen, and mine seem easier to hide.

The illusion doesn’t escape me, always sitting in the back of my mind.

No better am I for where I am,

one simple shift in the world and I could be that starved and begging man.

When I look into your eyes, sharing what I can.

I know better than to judge,

Oh how quickly I could be where you stand.
