Change

Be the change in the world.

I was told as a child

that i need to be the

change in a world that

is soul-destroying.

Pressure now upon my

five year old shoulders

to make a corrupted 

world secure again.

How was i meant to

enforce love into a 

world that has ever 

only taught me hate?

Author's Note

We cannot expect the younger generation to just be the change in the world. We need to be it as well. Change will start with you, no matter the age you are. - Melody x

An excellent poem based off reality, that expresses so many emotions, such as anger and love!
I agree, the change always starts with you, me or anyone!
