I'm human


I'm human...

So why do you make me feel less

Simply because my skin tone is different from yours?

I'm human

So why can't I be treated the same

Simply because my language is different?

I'm human

So why do you make me feel less

Simply because my behavior varies?

I'm human

So why do you hate me

Simply because I don't fit into your stereotype?

I'm human

So why can't I be successful

Simply because of my appearance?

I'm human

So why must you put judgment

Simply because I live a different life than you?

I'm human

So why must you deny me

Simply because you don't find me beautiful?

I'm human

So why do you refuse to love me

Simply because our family relation isn't from blood?

I'm human and so are you

So why must you seperate us

Simply because it's not obvious that we are one?
