Change For The Better

So many things I have to change,

They knock on my door, stare me in the face.

Tell me to stop, to just look down on them.

To do nothing, to always stay the same.

I can help but follow their orders,

Watch the hard work pass me by,

Knowing, or hoping, that someone will stand up to them.

Holding myself back from taking a stand.

I listen to the voices, follow their lead,

They show me wrong, stare me down.

Now I refuse to abide their rules.

I will no longer watch the change pass me by.

I will take a stand, change things for the better.
