Am I just another white saviour
Riding in on my horse?
I don’t feel that way
But that’s expected, of course
When everyone I talk to
Is complaining all the live long day
It’s difficult not to offer advice
And to promote a better way
But is it arrogant to intrude
To believe my way is best?
Is it acceptable to leave well alone
And just let those problems rest?
Some days I think this
On other days I think that
I don’t know more than anyone else
Except where I’m at
You cannot change others, only yourself. Get ready to deal with every situation.
