When I die

Will hope die with me?

The hope for individuality

The hope for kids to see a field

With tree after tree after tree

The hope to live life differently

From everybody else

The hope that we'll be confident

From deep inside our selves

Where unique would be encouraged

And strange and weird not even words

A creativity that flourished

For dreams to fly, yes just like birds

Or would we all be broken

Just like some of us are now

Cruel and unforgiving

A sneer that surely

stirs up growls

Now surely you agree

A life like that just isn't right

That every one should live

Always reaching for the light

I originally wrote this for a prompt, but I realized it was a pretty good poem, even on it's own. I hope you like it.

Thanks! I guess I meant my poem as a warning...of what could be(?). I don't know. Thanks for your comment!
