I Used To Want To Save The World

I Used to want to Save the World

By Jada Benefield

I used to want to save the world

make the Earth revolve around my heart

love retaining it in motion

I wanted to steal all the sadness and

lock it away deep with within the broken hearts

and souls

All the cold hearts would be melted

By the warmth of my fingertips and glorified

By the dreams of the young dreamers

Every lone wolf would be accompanied by

vibrant glowing green tress that would give

powerful breezes full of comfort

and every lost soul would be guided by

a distant soft melody

But I can’t

No matter how hard I attempt to

Beyond all the darkness

I found hidden light stolen by hate and greed

One can’t generate such a great harmony by themselves

Only love can

The key to the mysterious chest that glimmers at night

Within the chest holds a splendid treasure

World peace

I used to want to save the world
