It's Never Alright

Location

Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep?

What do you feel when you see the homeless on the street? 

How can you walk with your head held so high

when an innocent mother never got to tell her child goodbye. 

Why do you just act like nothing is wrong?

There's teenagers dying, convinced they can't stay strong. 

Kids are being picked on every single day

then bring guns to schools thinking this is okay.

There's these girls who don't even eat.

They want to look perfect, yet they cry themselves to sleep.

People are being judged every where

yet not a single person seems to really care.

Everyone is all about themselves and getting what they want.

Not a single mind does this haunt?

This world needs to change, we need so much help.

Society needs to stand up. and help the struggles ones dealt.

How can you even live with yourself, thinking everything is alright?

Nothing will ever be alright, not if we don't fight.
