Change


We can change who were are

what we will become

how we act

and who we interact with

but you can't change your living circumstance

your body

or your thoughts

You are you

Instead of focusing on the present

Look to the future

Achieve great things

Smile at all times

Take a stand

Be a hero

We have one life

That is not what we can change

We can't change poverty

But we can change how others get money

We can give love to others

We can change the hate in this black world

Change is sometimes hard to acheive

But it can happen

If we change ourselves first
