I am

I am what you see

I am something everyone should be

I am a lover not a fighter

I try to be unique and shine brighter

I am someone who does not see the difference between to age, gender, or race

If no one was like me war would be all over the place

I hear words that I’ve never even thought that someone so mean we ever use

I feel for the people that have been judged for diversity and refused 

We may all be different color, or fat, or skinny, or short, or even tall

All I see is a human that has the same rights I have above all

I just wish some wouldn’t judge a book by its cover

Then no one would be a lover or even discovered

There is people out there that were born into poverty and don’t have any money for clothes or food

Yet some people flaunt what they have and can be so rude

Even though peace is what most of us want a lot of us are over powered by hate

Some people are brought up to think that way and not able to choose their own fate

Then there are some who just join the crowd to be cool

When really they just end up looking like a fool

We should all be open minded and realize what our ancestors would say and think

Hopefully we are able to be more like them and become more in sync

They would say they didn’t travel far and wide to be judged, tortured, and hated

This should all make us really irritated

Until we change our ways

This world will be stuck in this awful gaze

We all need to open our stubborn eyes

And stop being so clueless and ignorant to realize

this world is made up of all kinds of diversity and it's everywhere

It’s in our people, our culture, and even our air

I know for some that this realization is hard to accept

But sooner or later we need to join hands and became more prepped

If we all came together this problem can be fixed

Then we all can finally be intermixed

This may not be fixed in one day

But over time more and more people will no longer feel astray

 No more stereotypes like whether you’re poor, rich, or even a reject

No more treating people with indecency or disrespect

As of race everyone needs to stop seeing the world as black and white

Then we would all be alright

We are all are told to love each other

Instead we despise one another

I just wish everyone would see what I do

Then they can see the beauty too

We all just need to embrace the beautiful differences in everyone

Then we can all finally live happily and be done
