any teen who can wake up in the morning
and be willing to face another painful,
agonizing day out there in that dark,
cold,
ugly world is mentally powerful.
the one with so many s h a t t e r e d hearts
and b r o k e n dreams
just searching relentlessly for something,
someone to hold on to and believe in.
no one in the world
is as strong as a teen trying to preserve
in this media-centered culture were living in.
always being pursueded to act like someone else,
look like someone else,
talk like someone else...
be someone else.
listening to rumors and lies said about them...
crying themselves to sleep at night...
being made fun of for looks,
and interests,
and as a result,
suicides...
shootings...
depressions...
and sometimes leading up to even terrorism.
so think about the things you say and do before you pursue them,
because the actions you perform today,
might have an effect on the world tomorrow.
