You’re Small-Minded

I hate that you’re small-minded

And refuse to see the truth,

That not everything around you

Is happening to you.

 

Some of these things

Are caused by your actions,

Your bad attitude,

And arrogant reactions.

 

But I’ll be honest with you,

I feel bad that you’re stuck,

In a cycle of ruminating

On hatred and bad luck.

 

I wish you understood

That the power is in you,

To open your mind

And choose a new view.

 

But instead you blame,

And choose to hate me,

Instead of facing the truth

That you could be free.

Of the anger and shame,

The bitterness inside,

If you took a moment

and opened your mind.

 

I’m sorry your hurting

I’ve been small minded too,

But my life got better

With a bigger point of view.

 

But you’re just too stuck

In your old-fashion ways,

So it’s time I say goodbye

And fully walk away.

 

It’s easy for me to do

Because I clearly see

That this problem you have

Has nothing to do with me.
