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.
