Excellence Award in the 'The Write Track 2015' competition

We wake everyday knowing,
We have somewhere to be,
Someone to talk to,
And the right to be free.
Things we've done,
Places we've explored,
Why are we all here,
But still being ignored?
Yes, we have ups and downs,
And can make a fuss,
Yes, we have things to worry about,
But that won't stop us.
Despite all our troubles and doubts,
And all we are put through,
You will always have me,
And I will always have you.
