Take A Second

Heart roaring in the sound of deprivation. In most cases it's wants not needs. We don't realize what lies before us. Blind to the good in life, but take notice to all the bad. When really it's the bad that is here today and gone tomorrow. When there are others trying to find happiness, and not dwelling in the dark hole they can't escape. The hole being of many different possibilities: diseased, homeless, starvation, etc. We take for granted every day that we wake. We have clothes to cover our bodies and shoes to soldier our feet, we have food to nourish our health, and water to keep us from dehydration. Although, one thing can go wrong in our day and make us feel as if everything around us is crumbling down. One thing... Someone's rude comment, the clothes not flattering your figure, car ran out of gas, a headache, and many more that every person complains about throughtout life. What about the baby born with a disease, and fighting for every breath of air. Or the elderly lady that fell and doesn't have the strenght to bring herself back to her feet. Or the children that parents abandoned them, and they have to fend for themselves and their siblings. But, here we are upset that our boyfriend/girl friend broke up with us. Or we didn't eat what was set before us because we don't like the taste of it. Or we take all of our frustrations out on someone else, because it makes us feel better. We can't let the little things go so that we can enjoy and be appreciative of all that makes our lifes better than the person who had no say in what their life had in store. It's something we don't notice on a regular basis. You never knew what you had till you don't have it anymore. If we would just pause a second and think about all of this maybe our day wouldn't seem so bad. Maybe we would be greatful for what we do have. Maybe we would be more optimistic even considering the little negatives that happen throughout the day. I wish people could look at life this way, and care more about those less fortunate. It runs through my mind every day, sometimes even right when I wake up. It makes me try to be a better person, and help people in need.
