✨A World in a New Light✨
Poem by: Thea Angelique I. Espejon (Grade 7 - Mendel)
Oh, if only more people supported us
Make each other feel welcome and build more trust
Many dream to be themselves somehow
But this world will judge them anyhow
We’re still judged for our countries and sexuality
Though we’re people with hearts, part of humanity
When we wish to be ourselves, real and free
They make us outcasts and choose who we have to be
Achieving unity won’t be easy
But this all starts with you and me
Building a voice for the better of this world
Each and every man, woman, boy and girl
Make the sound of your voice as loud as a drum
Whoever you define as or where you’re from
You shouldn’t be ashamed, be proud stand tall
Because this world should be a place open for all
Follow your heart, become the best version of you
You get to choose who you become, yes, it’s true
Life can be heavy when you carry it all at once
Don’t forget the people who’ll lend an arm to trust
Life’s too short for you to become someone you aren’t
Cause whose to believe in us, if we ourselves wouldn't
We might not win each and every person overnight
But if we stand together, we have a chance at this fight
Face your fears as you face the sun
There is so much more that needs to be done
It shouldn’t matter the thoughts of anyone else
It should only matter what you think of yourself
No one can choose who you become
Don't let anyone judge where you come from
No matter what you define as; they, he or she
Believe me when I say, you are who you choose to be
Let’s build a world where everyone will be loved
Where we live in harmony and put no one above
Where people can live and be who they are
Where they shine like gems and twinkle like stars
