All I Can Be

What is freedom worth if your alone, how long can you be happy without another person, what's the use of breathing if it's not to help someone else

How would the world be different if I weren't here how would my town be different, what would my family look like and what would my friends be like.

Am I like the leaf who exists solely because of the tree, waiting to fall off and die

Or am I like the rain, gently falling from the sky feeding,  growing so many and bringing life to the land

If there is no rain then the land would be completely different, dry and lifeless

I want to be more I want to make a change,  I don't want to be in someone's life without making a difference

I don't want to stay silent while the people around me suffer,  hungry and cold waiting for someone to call out and help them

The rain is good for giving life but it only grows what is planted, I want to be a meteorite shower crashing into their lives and changing their history

Destroying the foundations of their sadness and letting life grow from the ashes, I want to shatter what they believe and make them see the core of who they are

I want to set them free to see and believe in themselves the way that I do

Would the world be different if I weren't in it? Yes, because without me they would be lost in their sorrows

My family would lose a leg in the stool of their lives and fall to the ground broken unable to stand again

My friends would lose the meteor shower that their hearts need,  to break it apart so they may be rebuilt again

My town would lose a voice of hope to the needy

We are more than what we know and we are needed far more than we think
