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
