THE WORLD OF THE CONTENTIOUS

EACH ONE OF US IS SPECIAL

OH WHY CAN’T YOU SEE

THAT NO MATTER WHERE WE COME FROM

OUR IDENTITY IS HELD DISTINCTIVELY

THAT NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO

WE WILL NOT BE WHAT YOU WANT US TO BE

YOU ARE SO CRUEL AND UNFORGIVING

BUT WE ACCEPT OURSELFS FOR WHO WE ARE

ALTHOUGH YOU FIRE WITH YOUR NUCLEAR MISSILES OF JUDGEMENT

WE STAND TALL ABOVE ALL THREATS AND PUNISHMENT

TO YOUR DEMANDING APPREHENSIONS

WHICH WE WILL ALWAYS NEGLECT TO PAY ATTENTION

FOR WE ARE WHO WE ARE

THERE IS NO ATTEMPT OF CHANGE WITHIN THE STARS

THOUGH WE WILL NEVER BE APART

THE STARS WILL ALWAYS SHINE ABOVE ALL

THEY ARE ONLY CONTRIBUTING TO SOME OF OURS TO FALL

TO NEVER RISE AND SHINE AGAIN

THIS IS WHY THEY MUST COMPLAIN

FOR WHERE YOU CAN’T BE WHO YOU ARE

OR WHO YOU WANT TO BE

BUT YOU CAN BE WHO THEY WANT YOU TO BE

OR WHO THEY WISH TO SEE

I KNOW THIS WORLD IS PRETENTIOUS

BUT IT IS THE WORLD OF THE CONTENTIOUS
