The Word As We Know It


What would I change? I'd change the way I judge people, for I am a person with mistakes,

We live in a world that only accepts the things we do, but not by the color of our skin

The young generation has lost sight of the true meaning of living life

To live life is to love and treat others well and be able to dream anything

To go out and make something of ourselves instead of worrying what others think

To be spontaneous and full of laughter no matter how hard life can be

For I am learning more about myself as I take risks in my life

Realizing that I will always be judged by the dark color of my skin I wake up knowing I will always be beautiful 

To tell others don't be afraid to live because you are who you are no matter what they said you will shine

Shine brighter than the sun and above all doubts live the life you were given 

That's something I would change as we grow everyday to not lose sight of the America dream

We make up the world so why not share love, hope and happiness with everyone that's in it.
