When a Poet Is Discriminated

We're up high High as the stars that twinkle brightly So when we fall everyone sees us, Humiliated And ashamed. Hey, we're just kids, You always say it's nothin', Can't you see us strugglin' With the things you made us do, hey We want acceptance But it's just what the world won't give No, not attention, Can't you see we just want affection, And not perfection, For a good and better section, We are just human, We are like every one of you… We can't always be who you think we'll be We can't stand the life you've given to thee No, we won't change for you, we play fair, you see, We'll make our future, we are our own key.
