Different

She held her head high 
Reached up and touched the sky 
Wondering
What would happen if she grew wings and flew
Flew away 
Away from this hateful place
Where we judge one another and discriminate 
Where people act fake 
Wondering why they do what they do 
Why they feel the need to be the same 
Not their own person 
But the anwser is infront of us 
In this hateful place 
Where people judge one another and discriminate
