No time to do the things I used to
Can't seem to fix myself
Today my mood's as dark as the roots
I'm trying to escape
Now, all of my roses have thorns
All of my crystals have fractures
So many tragedies in the world to mourn
It's feels like it's all broken
Happy times seem so far away
If they ever existed in the first place
Isn't life more than just a race?
One that so many are losing
Who says the world is dark?
And you can't make it brighter
Who says you can't be
Both a lover and a fighter
Who says all the world must be tragedy
And no one can make a difference?
Children, stay sunny and gold
Elders, pass down wisdom of the old
Teens, stop hating life so much
You've got so much left
Faithful times seem so far away
If they ever existed in the first place
Isn't life more than just a race?
One that so many are losing
Who says the world is dark?
Well I'ma make it brighter
Who says you can't be
Both a lover and a fighter?
Who says all the world must be tragedy?
But we can make a difference
Yeah, we're here in the last days
Full of wars, death, and plague
But we can make the best out of it
Light the candle in the dark
Hopeful times seem so far away
If they ever existed in the first place
Isn't life more than just a race?
One that so many are losing
Who says the world is dark?
Well we all can make it brighter
Who says you can't be
Both a lover and a fighter?
Who says all the world must be tragedy?
But we can make a difference
Who says the world doesn't have to be tragedy?
That's us, we making a difference
I got the inspiration for this during that anxiety spike time mentioned a few poems before, but throughout the course of the poem I realized that no one can change the world alone, but they can start a chain of events that might, for better or worse, so use that potential wisely.

The Magic Inside (A Song and Poetry Book)
PoetryI like writing songs and poems, some motivational, some just kinda random, but still meaningful. I hope to someday make the song-structured poems into songs someday, but we'll see. I hope you enjoy or learn something from these!
