Today I waved at someone,
but he didn’t wave back.
How tragic—
I thought he was the one.

They say that you are the future generation of the Earth,
you are the ones who will change things.
But they don’t say that things will also change us.
And we come into the world ready to change things,
but not ourselves.

But what if we can’t?
What if our souls can’t take it all?
Because we are the first ones to see beyond—
beyond the edge.

What if we just sit and watch our Earth dying,
like you do now?
We are the future generation,
just as you once were.

So, are you ready for change?

Follow your dreams
and don’t listen to others.
But how can I not listen
to the voices in my head
that are telling me
not to, not to, not to
do it?

My mind is at war with my heart,
and if it doesn’t stop, I swear,
it will tear me apart.

You are so smart,
you will figure it out.
But who should I listen to—
my mind or my heart?
