A ripple goes a long way.

It cascades across hearts and minds, it has the ability to change.

Remember that.

I wish there was a piece of me that shined a litle brighter than the others,

A part of my heart which burned a flourescent love.

As of now I don't know what I want to do most with my talents

Change the world, read a lot, help people, maybe fly... far far above

Above the people telling me no, above the looks of dissapointment.

Above the earth,  above the moon, 

I try and try to decide what I'm meant to do but all I get is an appointment.

An appointment with destiny, great, but come on fate I just want to be free.

I want to learn about autism, break down stereotypes and counsel kids and their families

I want to work at a school and help struggling kids figure out their lives.

I want people to breathe easy, breezy and be cheesy.

I want to write.

To lift my fingers up and down, drag them across a keyboard and disrupt the common mind

I want to communicate a message, use allegorys and be over analyzed in english classes across America

Heck why not translated and pondered across the globe.

I can change the common sense, common man, and common mind. 

Can't I?

The goal.... the goal is to make someone happy, to irreversible benefit someone else.

For the love and passion I carry to carry someone else through their fight and battles. 

My love will ripple. 

It will ripple through time, space and show up on the face, 

The face of a person who cannot help themself.

Ripple through the eyes of a distressed mother trying to help her kid fit in.

Ripple through the classroooms of kids just searching for a bit of hope.

A ripple goes a long way.
