It Starts With You

How many times have you tried 
to view the world from a distance 
in hopes that things would change 
only to realize that they won't 
what if it's not the distance 
maybe if you just had a better angle 
it would improve your perspective 
maybe you missed something 
but you're not even close
as contradictory as that sounds 
it's the truth 
even people you thought were different 
finally revealed themselves to the world
and it didn't take much at all really 
those who mask their true identity 
crumble under their persona
once again leaving them vulnerable 
so where does that leave you 
are you going to be the change 
or will you be just another sheep 
foolishly following a shepherd 
who cares very little about the flock
it's not about how you view the world 
but it's how you see yourself in it
