I Choose to Change the World


The world constantly wants to change me.

Taller, faster, smarter, prettier, are things I need to be.

There are people who are better than most,

These people excell because of what they are told.

The world will change you, they say.

Because of this I wait, and wait.

But then I realize, 

The world should not be changing me, I should be changing the world.
