Live One Second at a Time

Live One Second at a Time

Poets of the Young Writers' Camp, 2004

Can I live?
All I need is love.
Do you know why we always fight?
Where is the love?
We have to worry about stereotypes
And by doing so, start fights.
Stop the world! I want off!

I'll change what I can,
Accept what I can't.
I'll be what I want,
Not what they want.
After all, what is normal?

Love is easier to cope with than hate.
You must be the change you wish to see.
You've got a friend in me.

So why do we hide?
