Just Let It Be... Free
Accept the Differences
I am hurt
Why must we hate
Treating others like they are nothing but a waste of space
Ridiculing because of differences
Why does it matter
The color of skin or the length of hair
Whether someone drinks or even smokes
Why does it matter
Whether someone is a man or a woman
Transitioning or not
Whether you show your skin or decorate it from head to toe
Leaving someone to bleed on the side of the road
Broken and deranged
Why must it matter
To label someone
To make them fit in a category
To push them aside
Just because they don't fit you
To belittle and to harm
Words are just as strong as any battle wound
Cyber bullying or putting to shame
Not good enough because of your name
Why must it matter
I am sickened by all the hate
By all of the cruel words
To be called a slut
You don't know who I am or what it is I go through
Just like I don't know what it is you go through
Why must we judge
We aren't perfect
Only human
Who gives you the power to assume
There is beauty in all around
I embrace the differences
Accepting them for what they are
No different
