We are a generation that questions our creation. But too scared to face the reality behind the cry of every nation.
But if we take a second, a breather, a moment to step away from our phones, can we see the damage without it being shown?
Somewhere out there, there's a girl..wearing her heart on her sleeve because she suffers the pain from never knowing a father.. To warn her of the danger of boys, and to love and respect herself first.
And next to that girl, there's a young man... Pushing away love every chance he gets.. Because all he knows is a struggle of him and his father making it through the rough days and too much betrayal from the girls that claimed to love him.. And the tenderness of a potential wife that can love him through anything can now never be noticed.
Where is the love? Is it hidden in the truth or is it just being tossed around loosely like a game of hot potato and the second it gets too much... It's that easy to drop.
Open your mind to the positive and the things good for you but don't close your heart to the ones who help get you there.
It's okay to cradle an empty vessel and fill it with genuine care, I mean what's so wrong in doing so when you crave it just as bad.
Who's going to tell that child to put the pills down it will be okay... Or be brave enough to **** up their pride and admit to wanting to change.
Is it not enough that we fear too much to have a broken heart that we don't even bother to get to know what's beyond the darkness.
Can't ever shake the feeling of not being enough.. Never knowing which direction to go... Life, death, or just give up.
Let's just take a second to think... And realize... What we are capable of.
