My endless journey...
I am fed up with dreams of my future
I want reality in my life with love
Looking forward to end my troubles
But life seems to be a endless journey
I want to drift through eternity
I want to see the light that brightens me
Looking forward to end my fear
But life seems to be a endless journey
I want to bury my worries forever
I want to draw the power from my soul
Looking forward to end my tears
But life seems to be a endless journey
Indeed, we do not want to deceive ourselves with words; we want to start from what we have, right where we are, with our cloddy shoes and the little ray of sunshine on the good days; such is our simple hearted faith. We see that the world around us is not so great, and we aspire for it to change, but we have become wary of universal panaceas, of movements, parties, and theories. So we will begin at square one, with ourselves such as we are; it isn't much, but it's all we have. We will try to change this little bit of world before setting out to save the other. And perhaps this isn't such a foolish idea after all; for who knows whether changing the one is not the most effective way of changing the other?
I am an average teenager who wants to enjoy life. I have expressed the changes in my life through a poem.
Changes In My Life
Life is so different now, Nothing like it used to be
Everything is so much better, Or at least everything dear to me
Life still has its ups and downs, but all in all I’m happy
When was the last time I was truly joyful, like the way I’ve been feeling lately?
So many things have improved, In many areas of my life
Although there are still some things, That tear me up inside
I never thought I would feel, The way that I do now
With no reason to be mad at the world
Amazing, I made it somehow
But when I think about certain things, I can’t help but want to cry
Because of all these broken friendships, That really were all just a lie
What happened to the good times, And all the fun we had?
I feel I must have meant nothing to you, Which makes me incredibly sad
But still, I have my real friends now, Whom I hope will never forsake me
And I can tell which friends are true, And I hope that they always will be
I can’t bear to think of the future, Where these strong friendships are likely to break
But yet I long for the future, And the wonderful life I will make
I pray that my dearest relationships, Will somehow survive the years
And that I will always have those true friends, Who are much more than just my peers
That is the end of my poem. I know we are living in the modern world but it does not necessarily have to stressful. I am sure many of us are depressed. Either by co-curricular activities or by our school work. I am definite that we can create a world where there is more peace and harmony.
