We enter this world unknowingly but with a purpose. We spend a majority of our lives on a journey trying to figure out what that purpose is. Asking questions like, who, what, when, how, and how much. I’d like for my fellow world changers to take a look at this poem. For whatever you discover in your life to be an entrénomical feat is something worth exploring.
On another note. I had a wonderful chat today with Arielle Scott, founder of GenJuice.

What We Long For
Often times we take for granted all the talent that we have
We are told we are too young to change and that our minds just cannot grasp
The potential we have locked inside
Were we inept to our surroundings that we have become so blind?
We were raised to believe that determination, respect, and faith can bring us where we need to go
But how can we get there if our older generation continues to point out what we “do not know”
So we challenge you to encourage us with affirmation
And focus your attention
on helping us make a positive change
Instead of shaking your head in shame
We admit that we may not have always been a great guiding light
to those looking to us as an example
But we’re not afraid to change nor fight
and let our lives be the handle
that stirs the pot of this generation
that guides the souls that were lost through all the desperation
You see, there is something stirring in me, but I am just one
There is something inside longing to breathe until my last breath is done
So much to say for the untapped potential
And the ways we can express them is through words that are vital
to be heard…
so LISTEN!
For we are not a passive generation
We long to move, and to shake
to mend and to take
the rules not meant to be broken
and chances made to be taken
We are the few and the outnumbered
To the wise our spirits may crumble
But take heed and pay attention, for there is a passion boiling inside
A longing to be free of all the inhibitions that we hide
One day the world will be ours and you will see
These eyes
These hands
These lips
This stance
Will become sharper
Stronger
Higher
Louder
I advise you not be mistaken by just one glance
For we long to make a difference and be remembered
To fight for the countless men and women broken in the embers
of the ignorant wars we fought that was not our own
but our fathers
Which our lives alone could not afford
The lost we suffered in one accord
So when you see me walking, don’t underestimate my soul
For we long to make a difference
and in the end
don’t we all?
