Influence of the Mind

Influence of the Mind

You're shit!
You're fucking shit!
Worthless fucking shit!
Shit!Shit!Shit!

These are the thoughts
That run through
A child's mind
And a child's mind
Is a network of thoughts
Placed there by others

No child is born
With a negative perception
Of themselves
Those thoughts are placed there
By others

Blame the TV
Blame the video games
Blame Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr
But none of this changes
The truth

A child's mind isn't solely open
To a world of negativity
Of deconstruction and pain
A child's mind is completely open

Completely

So where is the light?
Where are the kind words?
Where is the constructive criticism?
Where is the support?

Where is the love?

Pour into these broken children
And nurture their dreams
