What If I Could Change The Future

Location

The world is a scary place

Drugs

Bullies

Suicide

Temptations

Murder

Assault

Harassment

Loneliness

Depression

Corruption

Negativity is everywhere

 

But what if I could change this?

Change the path my generation is heading down

Worldwide acceptance

Reduced crime

Respect

A safer world

 

Hate cured with love

Depression smothered with happiness

Loneliness overcome by togetherness

Sadness replaced by indescribable joy

A feeling of happiness throughout the world

As humans, we experience many struggles

We require multiple things

Guidance

Support
Love

Care

We need somewhere to get these things

Some turn to God

Their reliable source for support

Unlimited love and care

The Bible guiding them to live morally

 

Others have different sources

The Government as leaders

Parents as guides

Teachers as mentors

Friends as supporters

Their own common sense

 

With more guidance, we can change

Reach out to the kid sitting alone

Help a co-worker who struggles

Tell a stranger to have a stupendous day

Compliment your friends more often

Be there for people in your life

Listen to what people have to say

Help where help is needed

 

Bullying is one of the world’s largest problems

Bullies do not realize how they affect people

The kid on your bus called a loser gets beat by his father

The girl you called fat is anorexic

The girl you called ugly cuts herself from being insecure

The picture you posted of that boy made his friends make fun of him

The boy you called dumb has a mental disorder

Even something as small as a comment could change someone’s life

 I know this because bullying has changed my life

I get bullied almost everyday

I shake it off and keep my head up

I have always been the kind of guy to help others

Always listening to people who need to vent

Being there for everyone

Depression is common in my life

Not with me anymore, but with my friends

I never give up on them because I know they need me

I ask you to do the same for others

 

Change takes time

It won’t be easy

It’ll require effort

But it will be worth it

With some guidance and support, we can change the future
