I have a picture in my head
A world that's glows bright not blue instead
If I coud change our world to look like the sun

She used to be so sweet
they'd say, Nice to everyone she meets
Little do they know she's fighting inside
Futilely trying to hide
The anger rushing through her blood
Whether it is gradual whether it is quick
It can differentiate a flame from a candle stick
People overtime have tried and failed
But others have tried, succeeded and prevailed
Ending discrimination is all I desire
The lights darken.
The moon has risen.
The beast is awake.
I have hidden.
Hiding from my fears.
My pain.
My truth.

Her hair?

What would he change?
His mom?

To be happy?

Makes the idealists and dreamers have to face the fact
United as one?
More like broken into fifty little slices.
The United States is forever done
if violence continues as a crisis.
Women aren't given chances to suceed,
If you give a kid the tools
He’ll forever thank you
He’ll be enthused by his learning
And develop a different point of view
His creative thinking will
Advance him in his learnings
