Let Me Be Me
September 8, 2015
Judgement is what I see only
Your hateful and bitter words cut through me and burn my throat
Why must it be this way?
For I am equal
For I am beautiful, no matter my size or appearance
Within this self being is a glorious and caring heart
Why must it be this way?
For I am human
For I bleed the same color you do
How am I any different?
I'm made of flesh and bone, the same as you are
Why must I be judged for the color of my skin or where I'm from
For I am beautiful inside and out.
Why must it be this way?
I am me
No self being can change me
Let me fly free
Let me be the person I was created to be
Let me be me
© Martha V., Morton Grove, IL
