How do I stand in this world
knowing my energy can become futile
How do I maintain sanity
while my façade is a fake smile

Always trying hard
to be the best person that I can be
The world in which I live
keeps picking at my flesh you see

Always confusing my belief
causing repeated redemption of heart and soul
Just when I see sunshine and love
my heart turns to coal

There is beauty in this world
it’s beneath the hatred and deception
It makes it hard for people to reunite
when always given a false perception

Trying to maintain bits of anger
a rage that burns within the depths of me
Why can’t humanity erase the hatred
to build better generations, hatred and racism free

How do I stand
each and every single day
It’s because I stay strong
no matter how much of me the world chips away

I may get angry
I may have a burning sensation inside once in a while
But those sunny days come again
then I find beauty in this world that makes me smile
