Where?
I know we live on earth
That much is for certain
But each day I wonder: where?
Where is the will to live?
Where is the willingness to help?
Where is the kindness in life?
I'm told stories where these things existed
Eventually, they grew extinct
Now they're no where to be found
Where is all the joy?
Where is the jubilee?
Where is happiness?
I want these things
The stories I've been told are wonderful
They tell me about a hope for the future
Where are all the dreamers?
Where are all the people like me?
Where are all the leaders?
I may be the only one
The only one to think this way
But even one is better than none
Where are the simple things in life?
Where are the small things that bring us joy?
Where is anything that can bring us hope?
I have only ever found hope in one place
That place is always a story book
A world I wished I lived in
Where is all the life?
Where is all the laughter?
Where are all the emotions?
I wish for just one thing
Only one thing and I will be happy
I want to stop asking "where"
Please help me find the answers
And then maybe
Maybe the world will be better
