Acceptance
You cannot accept me because you believe I am different from you,
You cannot look at me because you think I feel that way too.
What you do not see, are the things that we share,
If only you would take the time to notice, or to even care.
I do not want to be feared or pushed to the side.
I am proud of who I am, I have no reason to hide.
I want to be loved and accepted just like you do,
If you would give me half the chance, I would prove it to you.
God has made me special for a reason you may not comprehend,
All I want is acceptance, and to maybe be your friend.
I am only human, just like you,
Look inside your heart, and you may see it too.
Do not be afraid to believe or to understand,
That, I too, am a part of God's plan.
