What Would You Change Scholarship Slam

Feel free to tell me who to love. I won't listen. Go ahead and tell a girl her skirt is too short. She'll wear it with pride. Have the gall to hate someone's skin. They'll laugh. People need to realize that life isn't all about their ideas. Being free has never been a bigger lie because I feel trapped in my own skin. I look at my nieces and I'm disappointed by the world we've given them. And if I could I'd give them a chance to see the problems but no one wants their innocence robbed. So they throw up walls of crayons and book bags to hide them. But when the trust falls out they don't understand. Losing your innocence is not so much losing as decimating. There is nothing to find again. So change how you look at others, and what you tell them and how you speak. Becuase it's not your world forever.
