Different.
We are all different.
This is what drives us.
This is what separates us.
This is what pushes each of us.
Without our differences, we are nothing
Once upon a time
in a kingdom not too far from your own
lived a maiden with skin dark as night
and eyes bright like the stars when they shown.
Her words came out strong
and they hung heavy in the air.
When you are different
Everything is wrong
Nothing is right
But because of that
You still have to fight,
With all your might
You have to flaunt your Ethnicity
Your Philosophy
Your Style

I REFUSE
