Against The Wall

Are you that person
who knows everyone
but doesn't have many friends
I'm that person
when I walk into a room
I instantly see people I know
but a few short moments later
I'm leaning against the wall
observing the scene
watching people interact
exchanging their energies 
showing off their light 
all while forgetting 
how bright my light shines
it happens to so many of us
but I've made a decision 
the decision to be the light
we are more than a body
and even though our light
shines bright wherever we are
we ourselves won't know that
leaning up against the wall
so we have to be the light
that shines for the world to see
