I won't carry them on my shoulders. My knees may buckle, but my resolve is strong. I am the future, and I'm here to prove you wrong. You are concerned with dragging me down. Everything in me won't let me drown. What you decide has impact on you forever. It will cave in on you forever. You can't ignore what surrounds you forever. What goes up must come down. It's simple physics you see, the laws of gravity. I'll stay above the water just to prove my persistence. Holding on to my desire to improve our existence. The remedy starts with me. It's the logic we all need. Take hold and accept it, if you want things to be different. I'm waiting impatiently while your skin turns thin. You can't ignore what surrounds you forever. Soon enough it will all cave in. Ideals built upon a weak base will slip away without a trace, like a house that's made of sand being torn to the ground by the waves. I promise to always see things from a better perspective, one that won't block those who chose another direction. This promise to myself, I won't let it go. I'll stand up and take it all in. With open arms, I'll accept what we've been given. This promise to myself, I won't let it go.
