To Be Heard


I want to be heard.

Not run over by others' pride.

I want to be understood.

Not disregarded out of fear.

I'm not going anywhere.

I want to appreciated.

Not taken advantage of.

I want to be seen.

Not invisible.

I want to be loved. 

Not ignored.

I want to be me.

Not bullied into someone I am not.
