The moment that you give in, The moment that you give up, The moment you let it all slip away. If you can try, If you can keep going, If you can work through the problems, It will make you stronger, It will make you wiser, It will make you who you are. If you don’t try, If you give up, If you let yourself fail, How can you live with that? There is so much in this world to live for, There is so much in this world to fight for, There is so much in world for you. The moment you don’t even try,  That moment, is the one you will regret. If you try, just try It will all work out. M. H. (Raggy Writes - A Voice in 7 Billion) Make the world you wish for

When I met you I knew this was different, When I am with you I feel alive, When we kiss I feel sparks. When you said you loved me I knew I’d found the one. Fireworks and magic that’s what our love is to me. M. H. (Raggy Writes - A Voice in 7 Billion)

Truth be told, I do not know who I am anymore, Am I a mouse, scared and and small? Am I a lion too proud of it all? Am I myself, honest and true? Or am I a reflection of you? Truth be told I do not know. Truth by told I feel not whole. What I am, and what I was, seem far apart. What I am, and what I've lost, I feel in my heart. Is it too late to be oneself? Is it too late to stay true to myself? Truth be told, I do not know. A battle ahead, A fall so hard. Am I prepared? Truth be told...I am. To be free, Truth to be told, I need to be me. M. H.

I stand on the edge of time, Wondering if we could have been better, If we could have stopped this. I stand here thinking of what could have been, What messages we missed, What selfishness and greed destroyed. I stand here as the last. I stand alone. I stand here with no future. One planet, One world, Home to billions of people, and billions of creatures. Every action has a reaction. I stand here on the edge of time. The last of humanity. The last of life. The message was clear: You’re killing her. Killing them. Killing yourself. I stand here, Alone, At the end, Because it is too late. Save her. Save them. Save yourself, Whilst you still have time. M.

You are braver than you believe. You are stronger than you know. You can be who you want to be, You just can’t give up or give in. The world may try to break you, And fate may not be on your side. But resilience is your gift, perseverance your friend. Life is not a walk in the park, It has its ups and downs. It’s calms and storms. But, you are here and you will preserve. Truth is your soul, Light your faith. You are a warrior who will succeed. But, you have to believe, You are brave, You are strong, You are true. M. H.

A world so small, But yet so big. A time to pause, Yet also to steam ahead. It’s a strange one this world we’re now in. A cough can scare A warmth leaves chills. And where’s the taste? The numbers keep growing. The fear keeps spreading. And the world we once knew is closed. A world so small, That we thought so big. M. H. (Raggy Writes - A Voice in 7 Billion)

What does the future hold for us? As we stand here on the verge of the unknown, The edge of a new beginning. I look out at those here today and I think of the many who stood here before, not just university students, parents, or staff. I look out and I see something more. We are the next generation. We are a beginning. We can follow in the footsteps of those before us, do exactly the same, or we can strive for something more. Something better. Something healthier. There are billions of people on this planet, billions of souls. Do not fear the unknown but take it in your hands and run. Be the person you have always wanted to be. M. H.
