You never realize how lucky you are
Until you watch the news
Until you watch a TV show
Until you walk the streets
Sometimes you think that the world will fight for you
But what happens when somebody wants to fight the world?
What happens if someone decides to walk into
Your home
Your school
Your work
With a gun
Then what?
What happens if someone decides to say something nasty
To your parents
To your friends
To you
Then what?
What happens if someone wants to fight
The pillow that lies on their bed
The person they bump into the street
The world
You
Then what?
You feel like you can't walk the Earth in peace
It truly feels like that
I talk to my parents and my friend
Imagine if that happened to you
Or someone you knew
Then what?
You never realize how lucky you are
Until you are hugged
Until you are kissed
Until you are loved
Until you do.
