I Didn't Realize

I didn't realize that my worth was based own my complexion. I didn't realize that genatalia could determine the strength of my heart. I didn't realize that my weight decides whether or not I am beautiful. I didn't realize that freedom is against the law. I didn't realize that love was conditional. I didn't realize that the truth could become a weapon. I didn't realize that reality could be so troubling. I'm sorry I didn't realize.
