Life

I sit and think about me and my life

I don’t think about the sadness or strife

I ponder about my accomplishments thus far

And what I will do to raise the bar

I’ve been told that I am “the exception”

But I work hard to gain my respect, man

I’m not going to say it’s hard being me

Because it’s hard being here, in general.

You see…

We are the minority, a smaller population

A people that may need a little more motivation

Why is it so hard out here to just be me?

Because there are haters and people telling me I can’t succeed

Hell, everyone says it, it must be true

I can’t do anything right, especially not school

Who am I to try to make a change?

Just little ol’ me trying to do my thang

I may encourage others to try to do more

But I can only open the door

You really just have to let go of your fear

Believe in something better and hold it dear

Once you do this you will see

The world is equal opportunity
