No rights

I am NOT a cut

A bruise

A scrape

I am NOT a poke

A prod

A jab

I am NOT a regret

A problem

A burden

I AM a person

With feelings

with opinions

You CAN’T silence me

Shut me out

Cut me down

I have rights

to life

to liberty

to happiness.

even though I say this

Nothing will change

I AM a cut

A bruise

A scrape

I AM a poke

A prod

A jab

I AM a regret

A problem

A burden

I’m NOT allowed feelings

Or opinions

You CAN silence me

Shut me out

Cut me down.

I have NO rights

to life

Liberty

Or happiness

This will NEVER change
