"The more I see of this world... the more I am dissatisfied with it."
Austen was right, the more I grow up, the more I want to escape.
Everything seems corrupted. There's so much to fix in so little time and I seem to be the only person working. People are the worst lately...
They are being so selfish and self-centered.
They want to see the work done but they don't want to get tired.
They want good results but no hard work.
They want you to be yourself but yourself has to be perfect.
They want you to do what you love but what you love has to respond to their wishes.
They want you to give what you can but what you can give has to match their expectations.
They want you to go after your dreams but your dreams can't be those of theirs that they never reached.
They want you to do good but never better than them.
They want you to love everyone but never complain if you don't have anyone to love you.
They want you to forgive and forget but can they forget themselves?
They want you to live your life the way you want to because YOLO don't you? But they never let you.
They want you to be free yet they set locks upon your mind to be sure you're living the freedom they want you to live.
They want you to make friends but the only place you are allowed to go is inside your room.
They want you to speak your mind but don't you dare say something wrong.
They want you to do what seems right... for them.
They want peace, so they get it by a destructive war.
They want a good life, so they kill to get it.
They want a big house, so they steal to get it.
They want love, so they hate to get it.
They want truth, but it's muffled with lies.
They want perfection, but what is there in this world that is flawless?
Gandhi once said: "You must be the change you want to see in the world."
But if the terrifying big changes they are, dominate the defenceless little change I am, what power do I have to overcome them?
I'm tired, helpless... And yet I'm still fighting with my last few breaths, hoping there's someone in this world who will hear my voice and scream as loud as I once did to put an end to this unacceptable behaviour and save humanity from its own bullying.
