and you say that you want to make a difference
in the world
trying so hard to lift others up
maybe even bringing yourself down in the process
and you try
to make others smile
not because they are momentarily happy
but because they are
really happy -
whatever that means.
angered by the ignorance
and the closemindedness
that surrounds our daily lives
yet you still try
to make a difference in the world
and when you reach your low times
and think that the world is too much
and you think everything you've done is pointless
worthless
and suddenly the battles arent worth fighting anymore
because how can one man make a difference?
it is an army of one
fighting against the world
fighting against corruption and sadness
against the barriers that people build
and you dont know how much longer you can survive
because the world is so many
and you are only one
look at me.
look into my eyes and tell me everything you have done is pointless
if thats what you really believe
just go ahead and stop caring
stop trying
if thats what pleases you
but memories can last forever,
if you will let them.
and lessons learned tend to stick around
longer than you expect them to
maybe even resurface at the most necessary time
but dont ever think that you havent made a difference
you've touched lives and you never even knew
and if one person is touched by you
then there -
a difference has been made
and i, for one
have experienced this greatness
and you have made a difference
in my life
there's your proof that your goals arent pointless
and proof that you've made a difference
even if it is just a difference to me
it is a difference none the less
and it still counts
even though i am just one in the world of many
i am still a part of that world,
as are you,
and if only i have changed because of you
it still makes a difference
it still makes it worth it
and i still believe in you
