Existing
I guess in this world
That not much is fair
Your life can crash down
But time doesn’t care
It passes indifferent
Sunshine in your rain
Be there love in your heart
Or your skin soaked with pain
So it’s easy to feel like
You’re not running the ride
That you’re holding on, frantic
Barely strapped safe inside
But no matter the drops
Or how much you’re afraid
The one thing for certain
Is the strength that you’ve made
So raise your head strong
And hold yourself proud
Collect your true colors
And scream them aloud
Your right to existence
Is yours to protect
Because if you don’t care
Then how can you expect
The others to see
That you’re more than just feet
That your heart’s filled with dreams
Not the same static beat
When everyone’s watching
Allow them to see
The true definition
Of having someone to be
Ignore the cruel words
Look past the stares
Pretend there’s no words
Like normal or weird
Build a wall all around you
A shinning aura of gold
That brings light to others
And keeps your heart whole
Most will condemn you
Judge you on sight
Their mind closed in a world
Where one way is right
Others will pass you
Just walk right on by
Too scared to ask you
Who are you and why
Because different is scary
What we can’t understand
Is one of few elements
That does conquer man
We’ve flown up in space
Gone deep under the sea
But sadly true unity
Will just never be
We like labels too much
It helps justify
How to call a man stranger
And keep walking by
There are so many standards
And a path paved so deep
And we keep our heads down
And become moving feet
But there’s so much to lose
And so little to gain
From living in boxes
And not sharing our pain
We need to realize that truth
That you have something to say
It’s where you can find me
A thousand light years away
But if you stretch out a little,
Offer your hand
If you are willing,
You may understand
For this box isn’t permanent,
It’s just made of glass
Feels solid, maybe,
But it crashes so fast
If you can just find the courage
To make the first dent
Everyone has a reason,
Make your time here well spent
