In our world we are criticized.
Our freedom sometimes stripped from us.
Are we not equal?
Do we not have freedom?

Does it matter what color are skin is?
What religion we have?
What race we are?
What our gender is?

No!
It doesn’t!
We are who we are.

Why do certain people have to suffer,
while others are free.
Is it that hard to accept people,
for who they are?

No one
should feel like they
need to change themselves
just to be accepted by others

We are born
the way we are.
So just accept it,
don’t hide it.

You shouldn’t feel ashamed
by who you are
You are someone unique,
someone who is free to be cheerful.

Don’t mind to what others say
Do they really know you enough to criticize you?
Follow what you believe in and
do what you want to do,
not what others tell you to do.
