To get to the light, we must go through the deepest darkness...


I’m from a time filled with sports and social media.
Teachers who urge me to learn,
and some high school teacher who teach me nothing but silence...
A time designed to be filled with kindness,
but only uses hate like gas.
(From a car you’ve been driving forever.)

I’m not from a life you want to live,
filled with happiness, hope and honor.
Happy souls,
only create a depressing age.
A life with no worries about mistakes made,
a place where I think clearly...

I wish I was from a time where we talked with our voices,
instead of texted to figure feelings out.
Peace, Love and Happiness,
That's all I wish this world was about.
A start that's clean and fresh,
not a dish in dirty water.
People standing, instead of motionless,
even though we are from a time like no other.

This is amazing! I can totally relate, everyone only talks using social media, etc. and I don't even have a phone or any of that, I wish we still talked with our voices, too!
