True


 

There are people crying

Crying out

For acceptance in the world

When the truth is..

There is no perfect person

No judge to say if we pass

People are trying

Trying to be something they aren’t

Just so they can be validated

By a person who thinks they are better than the rest

Why don’t we try something new?

Go back to being true

True to ourselves

When we aren’t all crying,

    Trying

                                 Were just..   

                                            Us.
