Potential

How can i sleep when i hear the cries of children all over the world?

How can i rest, when I realize the hurt everyone hides in their chest?

We're all so numb to emotion now, it's like we don't even remember what it was like to live without fear, to dance without embarrassment, or to embrace our inner child.

Deep within you lies a spirit, there is no need to fear it

It is your guiding light, your tunnel out of the dark.

Some of you choose to run in reverse, and you never see what great potential is enslaved inside of you

the key to making something out of your existence is becoming one with your mind, body, and spirit, 

Not many want to hear it, but there is something much larger than us

There is a bigger picture, we need to stop the fake image we step into and remember there is something bigger at stake.

Everything has a purpose, a reason as of being here

shine light on your reason, discover what you can do to perceive the rest of the world differently,

every set of eyes sees through a different tunnel, even though the darkness is different, the light shining into it is all the same, we all have a small glimpse of hope, desire, and need.

Dive into it and see what comes across your path, it may just lead you to a better track.

Really like it. Todays generation is pretty messed up, well I'm apart of that generation. People need to realize if you are different people will follow you, so if you do good for no reason, then you can get other people to do good. I like like the whole light analogy. I know a lot of people say it all the time in many forms. But great to see you use it in this piece. Keep up the great work, and I can't want to see what else you write!!!

Thanks again Matthew! Writing is such an amazing outlet, it's amazing how words can be strung together to fit perfectly how you're feeling. I think this generation definitely needs a voice of reason, but same goes to you! :)
