Just Like You

I’m created of dust just like you
Born of a man’s vigour just like you 
I’ve been raised and fed just like you 
Man, I’m also a human, just like you. 

I wish to be loved, just like you 
I wish to be cared for, just like you
Oh! I wish to live life, just like you
Man, I’ve been asked to compromise for family, why not you? 

I wish to prove my strength, just like you
I wish to touch the skies, just like you
I wish to be loved and respected, just like you
Man, I will attain equality and liberty and be one of you.
