Its not simple… (Poem)
-
Its not simple…
Some people say it as if its simple,
To just be happy how you are…
Comfortable in your own skin,
To not “Go against nature”Yet these very same people brush their hair
Shower and go on diets…
They put on various different clothes and jewellery,
Even if they are not practical.Do these people just not understand?
Its not just about how you look…
Its also about how you feel,
And feeling safe and yourself.This world made up of difference
And its that difference that made us great
As that difference created unique ideas
Which shaped the world we live inThese people upset just don’t understand,
That its not as simple as they think,
For they themselves are disobeying their rules
And that nothing is a shade of black or white.I hope one day that I can live in a world,
Where we can see all the beauty that surrounds us all
And not be in hate or fear of our differences,
But instead be in awe that we are all miracles.
