A/N It's a little sad when you look at our world today. At the very least. If you don't..well... maybe this will change your mind. Maybe it'll help us all try a little bit harder. Maybe give that quiet person a smile they rarely receive or a concerned "What's wrong?" in a world so full of disregard. You never know. About anything.

Realization

I saw the world again today. It seems so different. What happened to all the colors? The happiness? The freedom?

It all seems so grey and spent.. have I done something wrong? Did I say something I wasn't supposed to? Is it once again my fault? What could have possibly caused this...this.. desolation?

There's no hope in their eyes, only dread. They keep plodding on with a grim determination to change their situations..but not all. I see them on the streets; moving without a purpose, their blank stares boring holes onto Death's shadow, as if it'll stop the inevitable from coming. I see the sky changing colors, giving warning signs to the few that care to look past their miniscule lives.

Alas, maybe it's not the world that's changed, but my own mentality. How tragic. I think I'd rather go back to being that hopeful little child.
