Raise

Younique

When I raise my hand in the air 

it gets shot down by a million stares 

seeking a pair of eyes that cares 

 

When I raise my voice for those around

all they do is look down 

and now I have a fallen crown 

 

When I raise the bar 

they say I haven't gotten far 

then they tear me apart 

 

Why when I raise nobody praises 

when I sink everyone's in link 

when I shed a tear no fears 

that I might disappear 

 

If I raise and no one praises

then I've been played for ages 

In a society that is corrupt 

But you can change 

 

I CAN CHANGE
