It's my way or your way, no in between <br />Would it be a living hell if we could agree to disagree? <br />Would it be so bad if everyone had a right to their own belief? <br />Just tell me this: <br />Why should one way control all the rest? <br />Since I praise god, I am better than you, <br />Since I am straight, you shall be too. <br />My skin is pale, my skin is white. <br />So that should be the only kind. <br />Why are we so terrified? <br />To see anything different. <br />Is it really that scary? <br /> <br />I work, I write, I study. <br />I'm poor or I make tons of money. <br />I'm gay, I'm straight, I'm bi. <br />I know who I am but I wonder why. <br />I praise a god, I praise the sun. <br />I praise nothing and noone. <br />I am black, I am white, I am brown, I am green. <br />and no matter what I am, what I praise or what I do, <br /> I mean something. <br />I mean something and I belong on this earth. <br />There was a reason for my birth. <br />There is a reason for me.<br /><br />Alyssa Marquardt<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-reason-for-me/
