sometimes i feel inferior billions & billions of people & in reality, what do you really count for? you're a speck of existence, you're nothing special, you've got nothing to offer. so what do you do? sometimes i tell myself that i need to step back & relax & realize that i am blessed. there are worse things that could be happening & to be where i am is to be where millions of others will never step foot. i'm just human, my back cracks, my stomach rumbles, i am inferior. but i've been truly blessed. the world is a funny place & i watch the television & see thousands of children who are naive in their thinking, they're being trained to hate people they've never met. their lives are so small & awkward. there are things in this world they'll never know & yet they still find a reason to get up in the morning with a smile on their face. they are unaware. why can't we be unaware? this is the real world. when we sit at our dinner tables complaining that it's not enough, when we dwell in our corporate offices & demand more, there are fragile lives that will experience none of this oppurtunity. this is the real world, these children are the real world. they know only what they are taught & they have so much to give but so very little to gain. their round faces, their smooth skin, they are the future, they are the present & the past they are who we once were. i feel like i'm growing up so quickly now & life is getting in the way. but i'm reminded by these children that to live life for the sake of success, is not to truly live. they live because it's all they know how to do. i live because it's what i'm taught to do. this is the real world, is it wrong to feel ashamed?
