[just the kind of awesome that this world needs]


[Everything] seems to be against us—

our lives seem futile at such a young age

we wander, we dream, we hope, we

cry

no matter how much we try,

it seems as though the world never plays out,

into our hands

our troubles are a horizon

the closer we come to conquering them,

the more we discover that exist

a never-ending cycle that takes its toll on the young human heart

[Is] it safe to say we feel small? trivial? worthless? 

well, lets be reminded, it’s quite the opposite.

the world is ours, and yours, for the taking

we are the change it needs, craves, desires

everyone is woven into the fabric of the future.

whether you intend to or not—you (yes, you) 

play one of the most important, and downright 

[Awesome] roles there is—a spark, a breath, a face of a new era.

one where hope conquerers fear and love trumps hate

it may seem difficult now, but just remember—

everything is awesome.

but, more importantly,

you are awesome.

[just the kind of awesome that this world needs]
