I'm a Human, Right?

All humans are born free and equal yet it never seems that way,

Hateful words of society corrupt people from day to day

“Dress how you’d like your body is great!”

But when she does, she receives much hate

“Fall in love with whomever you will,”

And when he does their looks could kill

“Don’t be shy express your beliefs,

“But not those beliefs,” they say with grief

Of course they love all religions and races

That is true until the reality faces

“Self-harm is not the way to go,”

But with all they say how would they know

Society is hateful and cruel and mean,

There is little escape or so it may seem

But do know that in the darkest places,

There are those who care with warm embraces

So be yourself no matter what they say,

Because someone will love you either way
