I’m not meant to be like you;

You’re not meant to be like me.

Sometimes we will get along,

and sometimes we will disagree.

 

I know that we don’t look the same:

our skin, our eyes, our hair, our frame.

 

But that does not dictate our worth;

We both have places here on earth.

 

And in the end, we are right here

to live a life of love, not fear…

to help each other when it’s tough,

to say together:

I am enough.
