too long i’ve spent sitting and

waiting for nothing from others

too long i’ve spent letting others

and their horrible comments

bother me into the depths of

my mind and harass my thoughts

till dawn begins to break into

the morning sky

i am ready to start a new and

begin to let myself blossom

into the flower that i know

myself to be and create

a world that is spun solely on

the ideas of compassion and

kindness that can easily make

the world a peaceful place

for those who have not seen peace

seen nothing but the ugliness that

we as humans can produce

the bitterness and harshness

that has shaped those who were

once pure and soulful to those

who believe it’s alright to break

others down into the deepest parts of

world and be banished from each

thought of love and peace

too long i’ve spent waiting for

the world to change for me

too long i’ve spent waiting for

the world to change for us

too long we’ve waited for

a reason to change

so let not the smoke

of the ugly cloud blind

us from the sunshine of

gold that lay on the other side
