Names, stereotypes,
I have faced only some.
In that itself,
I am blessed.
Weird, annoying, whining baby,
freak, freaking philosopher, dictionary,
typical white girl, disrespectful,
weak.

They hurt.
But many have been looked at,
with glares,
because they were seen,
by some,
as "darker, squintier, weirder than the rest".
Unfair.
I have no right to feel any regret,
for myself,
when the world has given cruelty to others.

 

No more name-caling,
no more lies and cheating.
After all we've done,
are we all three years old?

 

We all deserve respect,
we all should be judged by our heads,
and our hearts.
Not just caucasians, African Americans, Asians, Indians,
or any specific group deserves these rigts.
The world does.
We all do.
Don't forget a single soul,
even though,
I know that can be easier said,
than done.

 

If anyone harms,
or betrays you,
don't go back to the names.
The names could then be applied to you,
as ignorance takes over.

 

This is not the only time,
that we have needed equality,
we need to nurture it always,
come to know that need,
as soon as you can.
Before speeches can even be made about it.
