Red

Tue, 03/26/2013 - 19:16 -- AJSkill

I beat from within
The quiet river of life
Flowing through my veins

I crave another
To hear the tribal beating
On their red river banks

I want nothing
more than I want
To be loved

Skin, gender, religion
Nothing matters to
The red river banks

I want to be needed
I need to be wanted

Who I am
Where I'm from
What I believe

Nothing matters to
The red river bank
I am human

Treat me as such
Let me love
Let me live
