I do not understand

I do not understand how some people choose to live in ignorance of the world around them

Ignorance is not bliss

It is deciding that you do not care to know about the struggles of others

Just because something does not affect you personally, does not mean that it does not matter

I do not understand how people do not want change simply for the people who ARE being personally affected

Or just because they believe that change is important

Please be aware of the goings on of our country and world. 

Change can only happen if there is awareness first.

    I always said that it’d be the best day when I leave this school

    But I’m not so sure now.

    Sure, it wasn’t always easy,

    But I gained so much good:

    The best teacher I’ve ever had.

    The confidence I always needed.

  • Jester

    I will be the court jester

    But when you remind me of my past

    My lungs refuse to laugh

    Now I fall quiet

    A sad smile dances on my lips

    As I glance at you with pain in my eyes
