What Will I Change?

March 9, 2014

What will I change?

I will change the people,

the drugs, the fights

All of this nonsense just to prove a right

being loud bragging about what you don't have

the money, the cars, the clothes

my lips are sealed and I have all of those

trying to be like, dress like, look like others just to fit in,

but, then realize they never cared about you at the end

What will I change?

I will change the minds of the young teens

Getting pregnant having two kids at fifteen

Dropping out of school, having sex

Your life's getting worse today and the next

Feeling all alone with many regrets

You find out you have an STD, you tell your partner,

And he dumps you through text

Cursing at your parents, calling them every name on earth

Not taking the time to think that you wouldn't be here

If they didn't give you birth

What will I change?

I will change

How people clown others who get let down

Ready to flee town because there's no help

No one around

Can't be happy, no smile, just frowns

What will I change?

I will change the discrimination,

The racism, how we treat one another

Regardless of our skin color,

We're all sisters and brothers

We need to compromise in a widely range

The way society is set up...

That's what i will change.
