No person should ever have to face.
Problems of religious freedom,
Of hatred and distaste.
I face it with my enemies,
I face it with my friends.
But I also face it with my family,
Who don�t always make amends.
I walk down the hall,
Watching as they stare.
And I cringe because I know,
Some of those are glares.
I wish to spread my hands to them,
Look eye to eye and ask,
�Why do you hate me so,
When we are the same with no masks?
�All we want is love,
Caring and happiness.
But what I also beg of you,
Is just a little acceptance!
�We are human, the two of us,
We are not different at all.
No matter gender, race, or religion,
We always try to stand up tall.�
I face problems every passing day,
Of prejudice and hate,
But I will hold my head up high,
And hold on to my faith.
