They

They say you can't please everybody

They say a lot of things, 
they never know what to bring, or what to do
they just know what's best for you
they don't compromise
they don't decide, they don't see tears,
they don't hear cries, they just suggest then close their eyes
they give out smiles, frayed from sleeves
they do not listen, they do not read
they love to heat your mind, they are cold, they are sublime
they walk, they talk, do they understand?
they slide right by you, they let go of your hand
they preach sacrifice, they don't let go
they know all, but they don't know
they are them
        they are me
               we are they
