You Have All The Power

Listen. All I ask is to be heard. All I want is to be understood. All around you people scream; they cry for help. Pain fills them taking up everything, preventing them from living. Meanwhile, you are in your house, happy, comfortable and warm, surrounded by your loved ones. There are people struggling, trapped inside their own minds, trapped in a world where the only feeling they know is pain. People struggle everyday while you live on, ignoring the problems. You act as though if you pretend they don't exist, their pain will go away. You pretend to care about the problems of others, but really what do you do to help them? Do you offer your condolences? Do you ship them off to some place where they can be trapped again? You tell yourself that there is nothing that you can do to help, but there is, there is always something more you can do. Why do the bare minimum when we have so little time to live? Enjoy your life, but help others enjoy their lives. Every second that passes, you keep on with your life while someone is left in the shadows struggling to be heard. There is so much you can do, so much that can be done to help. All around you people are drowning in their sorrows. All around you they ask for help to never be heard. You can change everything. You can change the world. You can save someones life. You just have to try. Stop ignoring the problems in the world. Stop ignoring the silent pleas of the needy. Listen.
