LACK: Not What You Did

You all wonder what you did
But it's actually what you lack
It's our whole society
We're all out of whack
You read the words
You know you believe them
But you forgot that your friend
Would love to receive them
And I know that it seems
Like words and texts are cheap
But the lack of your words
Can leave me in an ocean so deep
But no
You still leave me wondering
My clouds of thought roll,
Thundering
You all just let me feel
Like I don't work hard enough
I'm trying to give everything
But I'm running out of stuff
We have such beautiful words
Like the phrase, "I love you"
But you leave it unsaid
And your words you continue to chew
The words are waiting for you
The words are so very endless
It's time to actually contribute
To the pool of our shared consensus
I know that you don't think
That you lack, lack, lack
But it's really time
That you get the reality smack
