Human


I would make everyone see that

We're all human.

We're all the same.

Sharing the same planet and co-existing in beautiful diversity 

And these things you call 

"race"

"sexuality"

"gender"

"sex"

you're just trying to box in people.

you can't do that to people.

we're all humans.

not a label.

learn to see me for me.

learn to see others for who they are.

learn to embrace diversity.

learn that we're all humans.

learn that we're that all the same.

and when everyone finally learns

maybe then

will the world be a safer place for diversity.

that's what I would change,

I would make everyone unlearn 

sexism

racism

homophobia

transphobia

I would make them see 

that we're all human,

that we're all the same.
