This Is the Way I Just Am

This is just the way I am,
This is the way I will always be,
This is the way I was born dont you see,

This is the way I just am,
please dont try to change me,
I have a good thing to do with my life,

This is the way people live,
In a house,
Under a bridge,
We all have something different to do with our lives,
So do you see?

I wounder every day of my life, what I am going to grow up to be,
Every day I think of others,
And what their life is like,
Every day I dream of a world free from hate,
Every day I dream of a world of peace,
Can't we just live our dreams, with no hate, and peace,
Think about that, because one thing you do can make a big difference in your life,
My life,
Our lives,

If only our world was this world you describe, if that was the case, this poem would never have been written >> James
