Be the ocean
Wild and free
Everchanging
And unrelenting

Be the storm
Calm at the center
A whirlwind
All around

Be the sun
Burning bright
Shining down
A source of Life

Be the night
Brilliant as the stars
But also the darkness
Helping them shine

Be the leaves
Flying away
At the whim of the breeze
Colors of the wind

Be brave
Be humble
Have courage
And Be kind

Be the changemaker
Be the change
You want
The world to be

Be whoever-
Whatever-
You want
To be

That once bright and creative mind,
hopeful for the future

Those gleaming eyes,
the fervour to become a changemaker


I am consumed by pressure to deliver

but I have nothing to show for



I am dying inside



I must work to survive, but there is no passion

I reach to find a meaning,
a reason, trust me
I tried



I voice the outrage the rich wages on the poor
I failed but I tried




I have no place here

I have never been truly happy inside

I’ve suffered enough more than I can bear

So, if you love me

Please don’t cry
I am sorry for this ultimate act of selfishness.

— The End —
