secret crowds


too often in this day and age we allow ourselves to get caught up in the turmoil and drama of everyday living. politics, hate, violence, suffering; it's everywhere. How are we supposed to enjoy life when all around is pain and pressure? Pressure to make decisions, pressure to look perfect, pressure to be involved in everything, pressure to fit in. Why can't we just laugh and play? When did success become all that mattered? What about happiness? Joy? Love? Love, a word that seems to have lost a lot of meaning in recent times. Love can bring us through any trial we face, any pain we feel, any hate we endure. Whether is be the love of a friend, husband, wife, significant other, or the love of God. η αγάπη κατακτά όλοι- love conquers all. Truer words have never been uttered. I've seen the results of love, I've experienced the power of it. Why does it seem that love is such a secret thing? It's like people are afraid to show love. Afraid of swimming against the current, afraid of ruffling feathers. Don't fear, just love. It doesn't matter who, just love everyone. Black, white, brown, gay, straight, male, female. Whoever you see just love. Would you rather have a future filled with happy memories of love and friendships, or a future filled with regrets and lost opportunities. It's up to us, we can change this world, we can make it better.
Let me heal you, carry you higher
Watch our words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder.
