What I see when I look around this world is pain
I see violence
And why they’re really fighting they don’t even know
I see happiness
Just a clip of it here and there
I see people struggling
And trying their hardest to go on
I see hate
Almost everywhere I go
I see people pretending to be someone their not
I see the world people fought so hard for
Turning into something we’re not
I see it all
Everyday
Every night
What will become of our world?
No one will ever know

To be nobody but yourself in a world that is trying it&#039;s hardest every night and day to change you into everyone else is to fight the hardest battle a human being can fight, and never stop fighting.
