Open your eyes and see the light.

Sometimes I feel like the things I see are a part of a dream. I drive down the road and can't believe what I see. It makes me think I'm in a movie and this isn't real. How could the world be like this? It just doesn't make any sense to me.

I sit and wonder in my room to myself "Will anything ever change?" Part of me thinks yes it can and will change. We just need to work at it. But the pessimistic side of me says no. We are destined to stay this way no matter how bad it gets.

I just wish the way things are wouldn't take my loved ones from me. I wish nothing held me back from being happy. But sadly that's not the case. There are obstacles at every turn, obstacles that shouldn't even be there anymore. Obstacles that make me burn with anger, sad with pity, and sick with disgust at their existence.

I used to say I take this life in stride, one day at a time. But right now I just want to skip ahead a month, a year, to see what things will be like. I want to leave my past behind me but I want to know if the future ahead is worth the time, effort, and sacrifices. It won't be if the world stays the way it is.

Unless I can be a part of the people trying to make this world a better place. A part of the many humans on this earth that care about whats important for humanity and not just themselves. People that want to fix the world not keep it in darkness.

I want to believe this world in front of my eyes is real. Not a warped fantasy or bad dream that We can't wake up from. I still have hope for humanity since there are still good people in this world. But for how long will they tire to help those who haven't seen the light? How long will they fight for what is right, how long will they work to make this place better? Not long if they are hindered. Not long if they are held back. Not long if they are not fully understood and appreciated for the good they bring.

So I want everyone to open their eyes and see the light that is behind the veil of this sad dream we call our world. Question what you know, learn more about what you don't know, love the ones you love, and forgive the ones you hate. It has to start somewhere let it start inside your heart of hearts. The one no one can see but everyone can feel. We are one race, the Human race.

We just need to start acting like it.
