Make A Difference

I don't feel safe in this world.

I don't feel comfortable

and I don't think

that it's easy.

Too many times

the world is filled

with teasing

or mean words;

actions.

There are always

going to be cliques

in high school...

in the world.

There's always the popular crowd

and the not-so-popular crowd.

The successful

and the poor.

But its time for

the rude and arogant

to be silenced

because you never

know who will have

a gun on them

who is ready to

take someone's life,

an innocent person

standing by,

hit by a single bullet

because of rude,

inconsiderate people

out there

who must pick on others

to make themselves feel better.

And while this is all happening,

we, as human beings,

join in,

or worse,

stand by and do nothing...

 

It's time to silence

those people.

Stand up

and change the way

this world works.

Be the one person

who stands out

and states a message.

One that says

I was here.

It's time

to make a difference.

Author's Note

Everything is so sterotyped with the way the world works and people are so wrapped up in what others think that they must bring everyone down. I'm tired of all the hurtful words and teasing.

This is so true. I think making a worldwide difference starts with the individual.

AMEN!!! This sounds like me at school! lol XD I'm always preaching that things need to change and stuff like this. This is a great, and very inspirational, write. I loved it and I thank you, again, for sharing your work with me. :D
You might just be the one person that can change everything talking like this. :)

Wow this is really good! I love the use of short sentences it really hits points rapidly, and the subject is great as well

You certainly pack a lot of emotion and empathy into a poem. Your message in the poem (and in your profile) is hopeful. As far as the technical aspects of your poetry (at least this one), you seem to have mastered the notion of continuity of theme and seem to understand the effectiveness of short lines for a theme of this sort. good work.

You said it all here... first off let me say that cliches go way beyond high school because so many allow the media and high society dictate to them what is acceptable instead of thinking for themselves... you are right that it is a crying shame that so many get hurt because one person has a inferiority complex and uses violence to try to mask it... and those who stand by and watch to me are just as guilty... humanity is starving and we must feed it with the nutrients of love not shove hate down it's throat. well you got me thinking so I must say one great poem.

[Chloe..Across the Unive..]

Yes, it is time! This is a wonderful poem, so true..
I am not a person who enjoys arguing over trivial matters.
Amen, it time to make a difference..
