Balancing Survival and Happiness (Pt. I)

In other people I've lost most faith
 But who's to say I'm not viewed the same
 Here's to me
 I am in need
 Because I want not need
 Not feeding the hungry
 No soothing relief
 Now look down on me
 I am the worst of these
 Because I beg for more
 Knowing other's need
 Applaud me
 I'll bow
 As I pat my own back
 For thinking good thoughts
 Tilt your nose up
 The balancing act
 Hang my head as these problems
 Scream out
 You selfish fuck
 Children cry
 People die
 Countries fight & all I
 Do is think of myself
 Such is human nature
 I've lost my way
 But I was given two hands to help too
 Human rights
 Drone strikes
 War
 Public lies
 What can I do?
 In other people I've lost most faith
 But I'm trying to fix my mistakes
 We're all balancing survival & happiness
