real

by Melissa_Meza

I'm a person too… I'm real also… I have opinions to speak… Why is it that I can't be heard?… Is it because you don't think I deserve to say a word?… Why do you get to decide?… No one is ever on my side… You've taken everything away from me… You've taken everyone away from me… Is this what I was meant to be?… This is what I was left to be… No there is nothing left to see… I'm just stuck here forced to be "me"…
