Prodigy

I try.

To be good,
to be caring,
to be kind,
to be loving -

I try.

To be gentle,
to be sympathetic,
to be humble,
to be energetic-

I try.

To be smart,
to be helpful,
to be present,
to be hopeful-

I try.

To be fun,
to respect,
to be happy,
to be perfect-

I try.

I try.

*I fail.

.-.-.

Screams.
I hear their screams.
The children that have not yet been plagued by society.

Laughter.
I hear their laughter.
The children that have not yet been strangled in the hand of society.

Notice.
Do you notice the pattern?
Society is killing us.

Paradox.
Life is a paradox.
I am society,
I hate society.

Change.
Let's make a change.
We must change this world.

Ruins.
This world is falling to ruins and we are doing nothing.
Absolutely nothing.

How.*
How? You may ask.
Change is nearly impossible,
for that would require the change
of human nature and that over
all is too wide to fathom.
Too wide to happen.

I Am Worth More

I am worth more than a look.

I am worth more than a glance.

I am worth, more.

I have limbs, and flesh, and blood.
I have a heart, I have a brain.

Maybe those things don't always work properly,
but I am worth more
than a sorrowful observation.

Don't you dare tell me I'm not,
because I am
worth
something.

I know I am not perfect,
but I am
worth
something
more
than a single look.

My body, my mind, my spirit are all so incredible.

I am worth more than a look.

Society

They were photo-shopped
Every inch of fat cropped
Cropped till there was nothing but bones
Cropped till society labelled them as beautiful
Cropped till they had boys falling at their feet
Cropped till they
no longer
needed
to be
cropped.

They had starved themselves
They were 'fat free'
They were
hollow
and

They were
empty.

Change

The world is changing....
Everything is changing....
Everyone is changing...
But...
Pretty soon..
There won't be anything to change....
Because we'll all be dead.
