Suffocated by Our pollution and greed Our planet cries out Please, people, take heed! It's not too late! There's still hope, indeed! But please, act quickly Here's what we need. Engage (not judge) friends With informative conversation Secondly, go vote For smart regulation Next, please encourage Responsible personal choice And finally, take time Stop and listen to earth's voice

Earth's Cry
I always feel two steps behind No matter what the topic at hand Even things I'm sure that I'm sure of You can break down that certainty Within seconds Make me doubt the person That I know myself to be I dare you Convince me that I am someone else Because I'm stubborn until I'm afraid Afraid to be laughed at Afraid to be judged Afraid to be made into a fool So I take the initiative and laugh it off Because declaring "I'm just an idiot", "I don't know anything about anything" Or simply keeping my mouth shut Is far easier than hearing it elsewhere

Just An Idiot
Can you save that person? Or will you save that person? Can you not let them hurt again? Or will you not let them hurt again? Can you make that person happy, one more time? Or will you make that person happy, like it's the last time? Can you give that person the feeling that they've been longing for? Or will you let that person feel that, no matter what comes? Can you consider their worthless self? Or will you decide to accept it? Can you also be the person that decides? Or will you be the person that initiates? Making them feel and having them feel are both different It isn't a matter of questions or actions It's in the willingness, of the mind, of the heart Now, can you do it? Or will you do it?

Can you? Or will you?
All we love is lost in lusterless light-- like a lunar colorscale-- when care is forgot. Take good care, lest y' lose what y' love.

Initiative...
Get good grades Don't break the rules Act like a proper lady Don't let anyone see you cry All things I was told would eventually get me somewhere I don't deny that being safe makes me comfortable but I wish I could take initiative to be new and do something the world has never seen after all, we are taught so young to do things now so we don't feel the guilt until later

Initiative vs. Guilt
Promising words not Followed by action is like *** without the attraction- ******* useless.
