What if the world stopped fighting forever
No more wars, or bloodshed whatsoever?

No bombs, or people living in fear,
Just wishing everyday that their family is safe and near

Imagine the news with celebrations,
not photos of victims or people devastated.

Let us make make this world peaceful again
Power is useless with no citizens

Children don’t deserve this trauma,
Please let us stop all this drama

I wish to see a world where different races get along
Learn traditions and celebrations, not believe that the others are ‘wrong’

Let us make this world peaceful again
For if we don’t we might all take our last breaths…

...
I sit there in my room each night
Wondering if this is what life is supposed to feel like

In my room, I cry alone
Just wishing I was ever known

I sit there on my comforting little bed
My safe place, crying till my eyes get red

I have a family, friends and more
But feel like i'm locked in a cage behind my door

I sit there on my bed every night
Just praying for me to feel alright

I put a smile for everyone there
Pushing down this feeling of despair

What’s life is like for others, I wonder every night
Just dreaming, in my bed, trying to feel alright

I sit there in my room each night
Wondering if this is what life is supposed to feel like

“Education is key for a successful life”
Says my mother all the time
I sit behind my desk all day
Letting my brain rot away
When we were kids, school was fun
Now it's work for everyone
We sit behind our laptops all day
Working nonstop, like we’re slaves
We want to ride the magic school bus, it’s true,
Not stare at our screens like zombies with no clue
Let us make school fun again
We’re still just kids, not grown up businessmen
Let us play, dance, have fun and more
Not rot behind a desk to do more chores

Just Cry

I know you try to control yourself,
But just cry,
Let it all out,
Don’t hide.

Tears are a language the heart understands,
A quiet release, like grains of sand.

In this moment, you're not weak or broken,
You're simply human, and it's okay to feel open.
So just cry, let the emotions fly,
And know that it's okay to say goodbye
To the weight you've held for far too long—
Just cry, and let your heart be strong.

ick tock, Tick tock,
Goes the clock as i sit there,
Silently,
Just watching the time go by

The sun sets, and the room goes black,
I can always hear a faint sound in the dark
The moon shines its light at the old clock,
going Tick Tock all the time
I sit there as I feel empty,
meaningless, life ****** out of me, and dead

Tick tock, tick tock,
The clock keeps ticking,
And I just sit there, staring at it.
Time doesn’t stop for anyone.
I sit here, empty,
Like I’m just a part of the air,
Like I’m invisible,
Like no one even notices.
Everything feels heavy.

Tick tock, tick tock,
The clock keeps ticking,
And I sit here, feeling nothing,
Despite the words people say to keep me going.

I can’t keep up with the ticking,
It’s too fast, too loud,
It reminds me of all the things I’ll never do,
Of all the things I’ll never be.
I try to stay positive,
To keep moving forward,
But all I hear is the ticking,
Louder and louder,
Reminding me of all the dreams I’ve given up on,
Of all the things I’ve failed to do.

Tick tock, Tick tock,
Goes the clock as i sit there,
Silently,
Waiting for no one, day or night

I sit here
All alone
Wondering why I feel fear
When I'm all grown.
I have my own life
Yet
I feel like I'm holding on for dear life.

Life means nothing without love,
But why do I feel so done?
Why do I feel pensive
When I did nothing wrong?

But then,
A voice I thought never would I hear again
Whispers softly,
"Maybe you should get rid of all this sorrow that isn't yours”
I look up, and wonder
How much of this sorrow
Was mine to begin with?

Is it true
That all along,
I've been holding onto fears
That weren’t meant for me to drown in?

The room doesn’t feel so empty anymore....
