Different

awesomeekweani 2004 (Niger State)



They say we're one
But who agrees to being one
Humans are unpredictable
They turn against you
When they can no longer control you
Try to understand you
When they can't they discard you


Get rid of you
Or banish you
As long as you're different
Ure not meant to be inherent
Once not understandable
It's unacceptable


People expect so much
Want so much
Yet give so little
Then claim mettle
They don't care
What you go through
Even when you do
With so much fear


I shut my eyes so tight not to see
But different makes me see
We decide
No one else
To beside
Anyone else


What we become
What we do
Or just a coo
We see
What we choose to see


Can they be perfection
Will it be taken in to consideration
Will it forever be judgement
Or  an argument
Of our environment


Different
A gift to uphold
A power to withhold
But it has become inherent


Therefore I rest with this
Something not to miss
For all we want to seize
Is just to be accepted by all means
