What Have We Become

Ever feel you could do amazing things. And the next day you promise yourself you'll take that step into doing and becoming what you've always wanted.
Being strong, outgoing and be the leader for once. To stand up, raise your hand and not care what anyone thinks. To just state your beliefs and opinions with courage.

Not always second guessing yourself 'til you realize you haven't said more than a couple words the whole day, or only spoke when you were spoken to.
And you always end up braking the promise; because you simply didn't feel like it, or just didn't have it in ya when it came to turning those words into action.

What happened to bravery, independence, and courage? We simply do what others tell us is right, and just follow and accept it as just the way things are. We never ask the questions that need to be brought up, or give the other options a chance to come out that need to be shown.
There is never just one way. Not one path to travel but thousands, and every path chosen should only depend on each and every individual.

In school, you never realize how much you are looked down on, disrespected, and pushed into one narrow way of seeing things because most everyone has dealt with it since a young age. And we depend on the adults to guide us, to teach us, show us wisdom we have not yet obtained. And well I guess you could say they're doing that, but to only one extent. Only one view, option and way of believing. And everything keeps getting all the more compressed into one little category with every generation.

What do we really know of freedom? Other than what we're told, shown, and have to compare it to. We've gotten so used to being spoon fed learning everything we know, believe, and even feel.

What have we ever researched for ourselves or thought that maybe there are other options. To every matter, choice and way of life. There is always multiple different stories, views, and opinions. And for far to long, we've only been getting one.

And we're just supposed to go along, not to oppose to a thing. And just believe who ever is feeding you this stuff; actually knows what they're talking about. And has tried it all for their self.

I bet what they know has just been passed down from one person to the next, not bothering to question or think to find a different way for themselves. Not ever trying out another option. Or even considering there are other options.

We've become so lazy, mindless, and have barely even realized how much life is and supposed to be.
Life is supposed to be a blessing, something to be thankful for with every passing day. Not something you feel is not worth it, and can be thrown away like an outdated electronic.

We've stopped caring to work to build and achieve something for ourselves and our lives. Like we aren't worth the effort.

Will we even realize what the truly important things are before it's lost. We'll we just wait for the day we can't do anything about it anymore.

Will we change and take that leap before it's too late. Will we make it in time? How much time do we have? How much time do you have?
