Difference


She held her head high

She reached up and touched the sky

Wondering what would happen if she grew wings and flew

Flew away from this hateful place

Where people judge one another and discriminate

Where people act fake

Wondering why they do what they do

Feel they need to be the same

Not their own person  

But the answer is right in front of us in this hateful place

 Where people judge one another and discriminate
