Why Not You?

Other people make mistakes, why not you?
Other people stutter, why not you?
Other people fall down, why not you?

You are only human, not perfection personified
You only have 24 hours in one day
You are limited by the energy you possess

Other people suffer needlessly, why not you?
Other people fight demons, why not you?
Other people lose the path, why not you?

You carry the world on your shoulders
You look through the blinders of a child
You blame yourself for the sins of others

Other people recover from the past, why not you?
Other people restore their health, why not you?
Other people seek the truth, why not you?

You can break the chains that bind you
You can strip away the layers of discontent
You will find a peace that will not leave you


Other people have done it, can you?
