When will I be blessed with the gift of peace and harmony?
When will the animosity of the world fade?
When will the immature, grow up, and become the mature?
When will the prayers of each night be fulfilled?
When will this life become bearable?
A simple answer to such a common question.
Never.

Sadly pessimistic, but I totally understand that feeling. Do you feel any different now?

This sounds a lot like me from when I was younger.

It's nice you speak from the heart though :) not many people are willing to do that and share their flaws.
