Unwanted Ambition
I have wanted to have an impact
On the world for a long time,
Well, maybe not that long,
But, age aside,
I want to help people.
That seems to be
Every young person's aspiration in life,
But, having dreams isn't necessarily a bad thing,
Especially dreams for other people.
Older people tend to look down
Upon young, ambitious teenagers who
Are more open to the new and changing world.
It makes sense, since we,
The minority,
Are the black sheep, to them.
We are the ones trying to change their world.
Many people are afraid of change.
Afraid of something different.
And it's not uncommon to fear the new;
But, it seems,
Those in higher power
Don't want to do the
Uncommon thing,
And listen to the new idea,
Put actual time and effort into the dreams
That they tell their own children to have.
The world will never stay the same.
People shouldn't either.
