“In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe."

You acted like you were playin a game
The way you do things everyday
You're emotions are to hard to tame
You were devestated
Too late
Now you're olans have all faded away
Why did you have to fight to stay alive
To survive
When you could have swallowed you're pride
But you were killed inside
Too many things to hide
You made up a lie
Said you didn't have a choice
Have a voice
Now look at you
You got a new name.....to claim

People who are waiting for something to happen to them and then they realize it's too late.I hope what people get from it is not to wait for something to happen to you.
