Don't let them

Location

Philippines

Look around, this place should be a place to learn.

Not a place that unacceptance is the thing that you will earn.

Not a place for you to feel that people have no concern.

 

You needed them but they did not care.

To even hear your cries they would not dare.

What makes you different from them, the mask they wear?

I feel your pain, the pain that you hope you could share.

The type of pain that is hard to bear.

 

I've been through your life.

The pain is like being repeatedly stabbed by a knife.

They can't accept you for your chosen way of life.

People around you could not understand your strife.

 

How many times should that giant star sink?

How many times should the heavenly hard to reach lights blink.

Before you could think.

That nothing makes us distinct.

 

Don't let them make you feel small.

Don't be intimidated because they are tall.

We all started as babies who near the ground crawl.
