This is our turn!
Why should I even try?
If my efforts are not even noticed.
The fire within, you have distinguished.
Have you not seen!
Are you blind!
You live in nothing but a lie!
The predicaments they have placed
Will not impede my ability to succeed
For my strength is embraced within Three
Like a braid, unbreakable!
Liberating the oppressing chains of my future…
and all with Grace.
You claim I can’t…
But, I believe I am able!
Able to BE! to SEE! to FEEL!
Everything you are not; everyone you blur; and all your heart lacks.
I am success, not a fable!
I am the future; not even hindered by my past.
Challenge my capacity to learn!
Well, this individual you see…
Obtains the power to levitate beyond the established limits;
Has ruptured the indivisible barriers;
And has defied all claims.
Continue to doubt my capacity to learn!
They approach us with ghastly treatments,
Define us as failures,
Reference our existence as vain,
But you fall short in realizing that I will stride across that stage
WITH PRIDE!
Attend college with my HEAD HELD HIGH!
Because I will shine like the sun on a hot day, and glow like the stars in a pitch black sky!
You see, today is our day!
It is our turn.
Our turn! To BE what you cannot.
