I Am One

I've been living this life like i've been told
 
 Trying to figure it out before i grow old
 
 Nobody takes the advice that I feel is right
 
 And before long the've drifted off to the night
 
 People don't listen; all they do is ignore
 
 Unless your words start with the words "Four Score"
 
 
 I was told to dress like this
 
 Something I don't mind, It doesn't make my list
 
 But when I was told not to speak my mind
 
 That's When I lost all hope for mankind
 
 
 I was told to be like the rest
 
 I could tell they were afraid of my best
 
 So I sat alone thinking of what"
 
 I don't know, but
 
 I felt like I wanted to change
 
 But not me for I wasn't at all strange
 
 I wanted to make an impact
 
 Something that would last and stay intact
 
 So I set out to do what I do best
 
 Speak my mind and let Fate do the rest
 
 
 I did something that can be good
 
 But I may have let bad come out from under its hood
 
 I made people do
 
 I made people think
 
 They started to ask
 
 "Why is the sky blue"
 
 And "Why do I blink"
 
 I changed the world but that was only the first task.
 
 
 My goal was to rid the world of standards
 
 So we aren't labeled with a tag on a lanyard
 
 I wanted difference amongst the masses
 
 So hopefully they would discover new types of gasses
 
 
 The idea was to inpire hope
 
 To look beyond physical features
 
 and learn to cope
 
 But it starts with teachers
 
 Not from the school
 
 But anywhere with a fool
 
 Who thinks it straight to hate others
 
 Instead of treating everyone like a brother.
 
 
 A World of people with flaws
 
 Brings out people's sharpest claws
 
 Saying they're better
 
 But can do no more than write a hurtful letter
 
 
 
 But while my message may only be heard by a few
 
 Know that the future depends solely on You
 
 
 With the ability to make a choice
 
 You must share your voice
 
 To escape the binds of "the norm"
 
 And learn to take your own form
 
 
 All I have is one request:
 
 Find what your are and be the best
 
 For You know "who" you are
 
 But with just that you may not go very far
 
 It is up to you to start your own legacy
 
 That starts with a simple letter: C
 
 
 See what you are
 
 See what you will become
 
 See how you change the Earth
 
 See how you will be among the stars
 
 See that you will be one for which others drum
 
 See that you have worth
 
 See you are the one
 
 See you have already won.
