Slow down.

In 150 words you can write a whole lot.

Yet somehow it's never enough to say what I want.

I find too many things wrong with society,

and I'm pessimistic about it.

Sometimes I fear the world will never change, even

though I know it will.

But I fear that throughout my lifetime,

the evil will consume me,

in a darkness that I never wanted.

How to control my feelings,

when medication doesn't work?

Sometimes I feel I've seen it all,

sometimes I feel old.

Yet never in my wildest dreams

have I seen true love.

I've seen love, of all kinds,

I've seen two people staying together.

But somehow that's never felt

true to me.

Somehow I wish the world will change,

and I live to see it.

But everyone on earth knows this one truth

you don't always get what you wish for.

Yet, I hope you do.
