Something More


Going from day to day Filling my life with endless play when will i do something worth while, Something that will make someone else smile I am so selfish with my lifelong goals I want money and success when others just want clothes without holes. How come i can't reach out to those in need? Or make time in my schedule to find those hungry to feed? I have so much and yet so little i give back instead of being content i see only what i lack There are so many people in this planet we call home and sometimes i forget all the struggles except my own. I want to do something more than just this and that i want to make a difference but i keep falling flat there has to be something more i know i can find i just need to set a side time and finally make up my mind i dont want to be the person who has everything they desire i want to be the person that raises other people higher our world is crumbling around us, it's not hard to see But i know we can save each other and it starts today with me.

This is dedicated to my grandma. she taught me to live a selfless life full of service to those we love and those we have yet to know. She is my hero.
