Youths speak up

Speaking up through art

Perspective

by Megan Jones

The picture we held in our mind

Of what life is
 
What it’s supposed to look like

Gets changed at times

Maybe drastically altered

In an earth shattering way

Maybe slowly with warning

Yet inevitable

Enough to shift the path

Then it all depend upon us

To decide

What happens now?

Where am I going to?

How do I find my path? 

Then how do I view it?

Is it a thing of beauty?

Or a thing to be barely tolerated?

Or even drastically different

Yet better than the original?
