The Silent Echoes of Prejudice

December 12, 2023
By Anonymous

Feeling judged, it is hard to bear,

Discrimination carries weight.

It’s so unfair.

Through hurtful words and biased eyes.

I wonder why.

 

Why am I being blamed?

I am bound to a leash.

Never to be set free

Confined by the invisible lines,

Do I let them define me?

I face the pain and start to rise.

 

In my heart determination seeps

I stand tall, and strong.

Defying prejudice,

Proving them to be wrong.

 

I won’t be defined by discrimination; I will break the chains.

And set myself free.

No more discrimination,

Let’s eradicate it.

Embrace the diversity,

In every case.

For unity we will stand.

 

Create a world that is truly grand.

With love,

And compassion

Together we will rise.

Strong and free.
