It would be nice to change hunger

Or grant a landmass of freedom

It would be nice to destroy child abuse

Or provide poverty with supplies

 

I have the power to help

I cannot give millions to those in need

Nor can I supervise aggressive individuals

Yet, I can change mindsets

 

Psychology is my path

I wish to help people heal themselves

I dream of making children in pain thrive

I hope to help eliminate hopeless futures

 

If we can have a clear mind

Minds free of pessimistic mindsets

If that can happen we can have hope

And we can have a future of bliss

 

Youth is where my mission lies

I wish to make them see their potential

I dream of inspiring them to be more

I hope to help, in any way, shape, or form

 

I need to make a difference

Or at least create a few smiles

I need to leave this sphere better

Or maybe the best it could be
