I remember never having to worry about the world

We wouldn't have worry about what is happening today 

Or what is going to happen tomorrow

Your always hearing about something new

The good and that bad

the world is becoming more and more divided by the day

Some would say that that world is broken 

But we cant give up

we have to remember that we are the ones that can make a change.


At one point in this world racial disrimination was huge

Most would think that was to stay as part of the past

But it is sad that we still need to settle the problem today

It is upsetting that those of color are still being treated differently

Just because someone looks different

Or believes in something different 

Does not allow one to treat another differently  

No matter whom they love

Or which religion they practice

Or because of their race and ethnicity is unlike yours

No one should have to be scared to do something 

or go somewhere because of their differences

I believe that everyone should be treated equally and respectfully

And that you should be able to fight for yourself and for those you love


I remember being able to go out to the world and great people and have a good time

But for our safety and others safety we have been trapped from doing so

We would go out with friends, hang with family, and travel the world

But the pandemic is stopping us from doing those things we love

Many lives have been lost, but we must do what is right to prevent more losses

We might not be able to bring back those lives

But we can continue to fight for what is right and for those lives

Things can get difficult, life can get hard 

But we will have to remember that these things happening in the world

will not stop us from having fun

And that this cannot stop us from fighting until there is equality for all 


We must continue to fight for the rights of those who are being treated unfairly

We most continue to use our voices and speak loudly to be heard

I believe that we can make America into the place that we remember

We must all come together despite our differences 

Because we are the ones that can make a difference in this word

We have to remember that after darkness always comes light 

And that we must never give up and never stop fighting for what we believe.
