She sees all the waves

She then sees the sea

She sees the movement

She sees how it's free

Everything in it

All the fish and creatures

Swimming all throughout it

Traveling all the world

Going in and out

Up to the shore line

And out to the depths

Through clouds and sunshine

She loves how it is free

She loves the sea's movement

She loves how it goes

She loves the ocean with all her heart

He's gone. My dad, my last living family member is gone. He's not dead, but he might as well be. He was turned into a zombie. Yeah, I still can't really believe it. We woke up to a perfectly normal day. After we finished eating breakfast, we heard a lot of noises outside. Some were closer than others. Being as protective as he was, Dad went to see what was going on. He told me to stay back, but I'm too curious to do that. I'll never unsee it. I'll never unsee any of this day. They were zombies. Freakin' zombies. Everyone always jokes about a zombie apocalypse but now it's actually happening. We went back into the house and tried to pull ourselves together after seeing that. We thought we were fine as long as we stayed in the house. Well, not so much. We were fine for a while, but those zombies are stronger than they look. They're going after everyone they can find. They broke down our door to get to us. They got Dad first. As he was being eaten, he told me to run. Horrified, I followed his instructions. Somehow I got away and avoided being turned into a mindless monster. I don't know what's gonna happen now. I don't have anyone with me and I don't know what to do. Let's just hope I survive. 

I say "Hi" to myself

My six-year-old self

So I can warn her

Of the things that will come

Be carefree while you can

Please have no worries

Don't grow up just yet

You don't know what will come

It will be a few years

But your world will change

For bad, not for good 

For the rest of your life

Your brain will start seizing 

It will be torture

It will get better 

But then get much worse

You will feel defeated

You will want to die

Will want it to stop

Anyway it will stop

Somehow you will hold on

And will live your life

Rising above it

And you will seize the day

So be a child now

While you have the chance

Before you grow up

And before the seizures

I worry a lot.

About my friends,

About my family,

About my future,

About my world,

The world I live in.

Full of good,

Full of evil.

Full of strife,

But not of peace.

Will I ever live in a time of peace?

Or am I doomed to live during strife?

I don't see an end in sight.

No one wants to stop fighting.

It's not even war,

It's terrorism.

It's worse than war.

No rules,

No treaties,

No end in sight.

We're the first

To live in this kind of world.

There's never been anything like it,

Never been so much terror.

And this is why I worry.

I don't know why

All I know is I have

I guess it would be understandable 

If I just decided to leave

Understandable, but not approved of

With the seizing

And the stolen moments

Moments gone forever 

They would understand

At least I think they would

Maybe they wouldn't 

They haven't gone through it

Haven't felt the pain

All the pain I feel inside 

They try to understand

But they never can

What would happen if I did it?

If I just ended it?

I would go Home

To the One awaiting me

Maybe that's part of the call

But for the ones here

I think they would miss me

Maybe that's why I've kept living

I write this parable

To warn you of a future

A future of pain

My future

You see, I came back

To give people hope

People of the present

They need hope for the future

Without warning there is no hope

For it was sudden

And very unexpected

But it turned the world upside down

And many people died

My family died

My friends died

Almost everyone died

I'm one of the few survivors 

There are only thousands of us

There were 9 billion

But now there are 10 thousand

It all came from a man

A very selfish guy he was

One day he made a plan

"I want to" was his because

This plan was terrible

It wiped out billions

Nothing is comparable

Who had it worst was the civilians

They had no chance

Against the army he made

All it took was one glance

They would have no aid

They were wiped out

In a matter of days

I had no doubt

That all towns were ablaze

For there was no mercy

None to be seen

There was no controversy

The chaos was obscene

There was nowhere to hide

Nowhere at all

Oh believe me, we tried

The human race started to fall

There was fire all around

Corpses were scattered

Blood was soaked into the ground

All hope was shattered

We lived in fear

For the future was bleak

We thought the end was near

All around you could hear people shriek

One day they found us

We had no will to live

We didn't put up a fuss

We didn't care if we would survive

It was terrible

We found a new mission

For the situation was unbearable

We got out of that place

We kicked and we hit

There was a big chase

But the survivors won

We found a new life

The rebellion had just begun

It was new and full of strife

We made a decision

One that resulted in this

So that the future may have a rescission

This letter you shouldn't dismiss

For we are warning you

To save your lives

So this you don't have to live through

So this future will not run rife

Please heed my words

Watch out for trouble

Always be on guard

For it will come unexpectedly 

You say I'm safe

But how can that be?

Have you looked around us?

Evil is everywhere

There is no safe place anymore

You say be happy

But that is too hard now

Take a long walk in my shoes

Nothing is easy anymore

Happy is too difficult for me

I don't care what you say

It does not matter to me

Survival is all that matters

It is how I live everyday 

But you will never know

I know we live on earth

That much is for certain

But each day I wonder: where?

Where is the will to live?

Where is the willingness to help?

Where is the kindness in life?

I'm told stories where these things existed

Eventually, they grew extinct

Now they're no where to be found

Where is all the joy?

Where is the jubilee?

Where is happiness?

I want these things

The stories I've been told are wonderful

They tell me about a hope for the future

Where are all the dreamers?

Where are all the people like me?

Where are all the leaders?

I may be the only one

The only one to think this way

But even one is better than none

Where are the simple things in life?

Where are the small things that bring us joy?

Where is anything that can bring us hope?

I have only ever found hope in one place

That place is always a story book

A world I wished I lived in

Where is all the life?

Where is all the laughter?

Where are all the emotions?

I wish for just one thing

Only one thing and I will be happy

I want to stop asking "where"

Please help me find the answers

And then maybe

Maybe the world will be better
