As I clench this pen in my hand
I try to understand
The purpose of my life and where I am
What do I possess that is so special?
Why do I find myself here?
Why am I not a starving child in Africa?
You see the moment you start to wonder, everything changes
It’s no longer you in your self-centered world, no
You actually start to care about others and where they shall go
Because you never know
Maybe one day you’ll be the one struggling for life
Wondering what to let go of in order to suffice
It sickens me to think that people are so ungrateful for the things they possess
This I must stress
For it is not the quantity of material items we obtain, but rather the quality of our heart
To spread love to those who we do not know
In the worst of situations your true character will show
Be a diamond in a cave filled with boulders
Let your luster fill the eyes of those who do not see
The true meaning of humanity
