You can't just wish for happiness and magically receive it, you have to do something for yourself, to feel it.*-Me


What happens when the kids stop Trying,
Listening,
And simply stop believing
That their fears-they can conquer,
They're dreams-they can pursue?

What happens when they decide to Give up?
Because there are no rules they Wish to learn from,
Their words and thoughts,
Have all been put to waste.
With or without respect,
They'll over run their loved ones,
They'll over throw their friends.

What happens will be,
They come to find,
Maybe all they had thrown away,
Could have saved us all
From being left behind.*


The author's comments:
What inspired me is my school, peers, my friends, and somewhat me. At one point, I stopped caring. I don't know why, I just did. Then it clicked. I realized, that if my school, peers, or friends all decided to stop caring, there would be no future to look forward to.
