Dec 2014
I know this world will never be perfect
As long as hate and disapproval exist
It is the end of 2014,
And we have improved so muchβ€”
But where would we be
If we stopped now?

I want to see happiness slam through
This world like a battering ram
I want a brighter and ignorant-free future;
All we look toward is discrimination
We need to stop fighting over everything
When will we realize that we're all the same,
That we're all different for a specific reason?
It doesn't matter what you believe in, or
What we choose to convince one another,
Open your heart up a little
And let happiness pour inβ€”
Only then will things become better.

Ignore the television,
Ignore the internet,
Ignore the ignorance,
Ignore the troubles,
Listen to your voice;
It is telling you to speak out.
Inspired by Leelah Alcorn and every teenager that has ever had an unanswered opinion.
I hope everyone has a happy new year. Please, make 2015 a year of change.
Jacob
