My World
My world is small. My world is huge.
I do not have a voice but I speak for you.
How the world treats me speaks great volumes.
What am I worth? Do I have any value?
I'm the teen in that desk. I'm the infant in that car.
My needs are great. Those I love went too far.
I have no hope yet contain infinite promise.
I represent you. Do you hear your conscience?
My time is short. My days, oh, so long.
I did not ask for this. Did I commit a wrong?
I can't see past tomorrow. My reality is concrete.
Will you give me a future? Will you advocate for me?
Stand up for me! I'm a soul like you!
Will you take my hand? What will you do?
