    Midst

    To grow above and beyond
    To look but not really see
    I try to respond
    But it doesnt sound like me
    To understand why
    To not live in fear
    To try
    To live up to the ones I hold dear
    I am told to love
    But what does that mean
    To be well thought of?
    To forget all the arguments I have seen?
    So hard when you are so small
    To overcome the inner struggle and fight
    To try not to fall
    And differentiate wrong from right
    A childhood can be unfortunate circumstance
    But as long as you hold on to your true self
    You might stand a chance

    You definitely stand a chance... "So hard when you are so small To overcome the inner struggle and fight -To try not to fall"... way to make a stand with your inner written voice!

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.

    Plato (BC 427-BC 347) Greek philosopher.
