But I...
We live in a world of;
Corruption, injustice, and poverty
But I don’t slow down
We live in a world of;
Dishonesty, cries for help, and selfishness
But I don’t turn sour
We live in a world of;
School shootings, war, and abandonment
But I don’t lower my head
We live in a world of;
Pain, suffering, and disasters
But I don’t give up
We live in a world;
Where people don’t feel comfortable in their own skin and would rather take their own lives
Where people kill out of spite
Where people instigate violence rather than stop it
We all live in this world
But I am different
I stand out among the rest
These problems are my inspiration
Leaving me with the determination equivalent to a bulletproof vest
I may be small, but I believe I can help be America’s restoration
