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.
