We Have The Power Poem by Skylark Woodrow

We don't have to pretend to be something we're not;
We don't have to keep our head down, run with the crowd, and lose who we are.
We have the power to be different,
We have the power to bring change;
We have the power to be ourselves without any shame.
We can stand up and stand out; taking pride in our differences.
We have the power to show the world the strength of diversity,
The value of individuality,
And the importance of variety.
We have the power to make the world a better place,
But nothing will ever change if we remain the same.
