Time

The days pass But I wish the time would move at my pace One day I wish I could stop One day I wish I could jump One day I wish I saw you Everyone wishes for a dream come true but that's a fantasy But to me dreams come true only if you want them to Everyone has the I be who they want to be Look around you and tell me I'm wrong It's not possible because if you look around you see future people People who become lawyers and doctors Some say that these are "normal" things But then there are some who will be singers, actors Even some will be writers I wish I was something I wanted to be But I can't because my back is against the wall everyday I have to act like someone I'm not I have to be fake as some would say Survival is the way to live these days No one has the freedom to be who they are Afraid of what society has become known to being Fearing what the people around you say and think about you I wish the times would pass to better times Not having to worry every moment Just to have the ability to be who we are and who we want to be Dancers/singers have to come out at night because people say that jobs like that are unstable Everyone has a talent but is afraid to show it because of what the world has come to be Why is that we have to cover up who we are Why do we have to pretend to be something other than ourselves Why should I (you) have to change jus because someone says you have to You were given the right to be who you are To be yourself and not someone else So why the change Do you have any idea of how hard it is to hide who you are In today's generation it's like wearing a jacket and putting a hood over your head The only thing people will see is a shadow This shouldn't be happening People should be who they are Love has been blinded with so many conditions and laws Binded with so many traditions and expectations Today anything is possible Why can't "change" be a possibility So much has evolved over a period of time Nothing surprises me anymore I take things as they come I take it one day at a time As do the rest of several billion other people on this earth I hear the word unity come out of a persons mouth First thought that comes to mind is equality In other words respect and understand should run like a marathon on this earth But as far as I can see not much of those things happen that often The world may be cruel But it doesn't have to be this way We all have the ability and capability to make this change Though it will take time and effort In the end you will see that it's worth it
