Write & Change the World


They asked me, why do you write? Is it because you think its cool to throw down some lines, and make a few things rhyme? I then replied, I said I write because my daddy told me so, he said "baby, grab a pen & write down everything you believe in, because one day. someone. might read it" I disregarded what he said Thinking who wants to read about a teenage girls life her triumph, her stories, her strife But then again, what stopped the world from reading all about Anne? that's right, nothing? See my generation fails to realize, we have the right to say, something. The ability to change the world if only we tried I think its about time, we pried open our hushed mouths and proudly spoke aloud Because we are the keys to the FUTURE maybe if we stopped trying to live this "as seen on tv" lifestyle we could come up with a solution change the world if we tried start using our minds instead of exploiting it to those who think its cool to commit a crime becoming another statistic as though you have wished it But maybe you could try to be different whats the point of going through life with out making a single difference maybe you should write and when thy ask you why? say you intend to battle this world with only one friend and that's the pen...
