I See Me

I look at you 

Don't like what I see

Cause I don’t realize

That I’m looking at me.

If we see it we be it

So let’s stop acting

Like who we see

Got issues.

Let’s reconsider

That it might be us

That needs to be checked

And reassesed.

We think he think he all that.

We feel that she all up in our video.

They better leave me alone we say

Life Is hard enough as it is.

Yeah, that’s what it look like

But that ain’t what it is.

It’s all about us Boo.

So what we gon do?

Do we think he all that?

Didn’t we put her in our DVD?

We carrying them, all that,

And then some.

Ain’t it  on us

To let it go.

Life is simple.

We complicate us

By blaming them

For being who they be.

We compare 

Rather than reflect

We judge and condemn

Rather than recognize

And realize

That what and who I see

is me.

And now 

I have

An opportunity

To be a better me

And to let all else be

What it is.

Only then 

Can I look and see

That what I’m looking at

Is a mini me.

And what I might 

Wanna do

Is to be a better me 

Than the one I see.

After all  

I know I think

that what I see 

is who they are.

But I'm not sure

I’m aware  

That what I see 

Is not  necessarily 

Who they be.

Maybe next time

I’ll look for me.

I’ll holla…
