about

I often get frustrated by the world today, with so many negative things happening. It sometimes feels like a better world is so far off, and I wonder why I bother trying to send the message of hope and awareness. But I have to remember that the only way we can make the world better is to act. Edmund Burke once said, "All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." We must keep pressing forward for change to occur.

lyrics

Lyrics:

Often I sit alone in the corner and stare
Off into a reality that’s not even there.
Why aren’t this world and my world the same?
Tell me why. Tell me why.
Seems so easy, from my point of view.

Sometimes I wonder why I utter a word.
Freedom of speech doesn’t guarantee you’ll ever be heard.
No one listens anymore.
Tell me why. Tell me why.
Why has ignorance come to be bliss?

Sometimes I want to give up.
Sometimes I want to give in.
To take it all back and erase my memory,
But there’s no going back from where I am.

I must go on. I must move on.
