One Day

One day I’ll wake up and be a normal high school girl One day I won't be defined by the color of my skin One day I won’t be judged by the number of tears I’ve cried One day I won’t be a freak for having mental problems One day I’ll be able to hold my lover without looks of disgust One day I’ll be able to talk about my problems without “Wanting attention” One day I can walk outside without fear of getting shot One day I’ll look at the news and then feel safe about going to school One day I won’t have to worry about being sexualized because of my clothing One day I won't feel afraid to walk alone at night or about what's around the corner One day I won’t get “fitness tips” because of my body type One day I won’t be misgendered because of my personality One day I can have male friends without being asked “When’s the wedding” One day I won’t be compared to my siblings One day I’ll understand why the world is like this One day is not guaranteed, one day isn’t going to be tomorrow One day will only come after tons of celebration and sorrows One day is something that’ll have to be made and not just Waited upon. It’s something that needs to be built and that’s a must One day isn’t more dependent on males or females It depends on the community's efforts not to fail One day I’ll be considered normal but until then, I’ll just be me and I’ll keep dreaming about One day.
