Our poor democracy, so broken and bent
Its hopes and dreams, so long since spent
What once was free, now so corrupt
The people's voice, should now erupt

The privileged few, still standing tall
While the rest of us, feel so small
The future of our nation, so far away
Our children, their dreams, so far astray

Our leaders, so out of touch
Their words, a lie, so often clutch
The people, so desperate and in need
Their cries, no one hears, their hearts bleed

How to smile again.

All this cold rain,
will become beautiful again.

All this,
will drench me in righteousness.
My enemies,
will dance with me.
We will all-
re-find versions of ourselves,
that are, our alternate,yet, purer selves.

I'm doing it
for all of us.

When I bleed,
My blood is red.
Your blood is red.
My grief carries the same colour. AS YOURS.
The same aura.

Shout out to all the haters
Those who said I couldn't
Here's to those who say
That I can't or I shouldn't

I'd like to extend my gratitude
To those who've put me down
Without them I'd never know
To keep smiling without a sound

Kudos to everyone who said
I would never make it this far
They fueled my fire and now
I'm burning bright as a star

They've given me a reason
More people to prove wrong
Turns out that my enemies
Were my biggest fans all along

Who am I? This question rages in my head
Do I wear the mask of good or consider this wicked?
One half of me is light, some would even say meek
I'm polite and caring; I strive to speak sweet
I wish upon a star and have faith in fate
But for a knight on white horse I no longer wait
