"Hate is easy, love takes courage."


Standing outside under the stars
Makes me feel so small…
Looking up to the night sky
Seeing all that we are.

I see a shooting star.
I feel the wind.
I taste miracles.
I hear soft rain.

We are, so small.
You can’t fight it.
We are, so small.
Don’t try to deny it.

This Earth we’re on,
(this earth we’re on,)
Is part of a system.
(part of a system,)
Those stars we see
(those stars we see)
Are light years away.
(light years away)
No matter how hard you try,
You’ll never be big enough,
For everyone, and everything,
To see you
(to see you)
To know you
(to know you)
To want to be you
(wanna be you)
No matter how hard you try.

Standing outside under the stars,
Makes me feel so small…
Looking up to the night sky
Seeing all that we are.

We are, so small.
You can’t fight it.
We are, so small.
Don’t try to deny it…

The author's comments:
I keep seeing people walking around school thinking that they own the world when no one does. I want to just scream in their faces when they interrupt class, or run into people and yell at them... These types of people don't deserve power, but they are given it no matter what. These people need a wake-up call to realize how small they really are.
