&quot;Said we go to war just to bring us together, I believe in Love, I believe in forever...&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Eyes see everything...&quot; -Devon Torble,<br /> <br /> &quot;Caught up in love&quot;- Joseph M. Lyons,<br /> <br /> &quot;I speak my words, through a broken truth,<br /> ...I bite my lip, and taste its guilt,<br /> I see heaven on the horizon, but I turn my back,<br /> Paradise must wait,<br /> For when it dies,<br /> The truth shall be revealed&hellip;&quot; - Joseph Michael Lyons,<br /> <br /> &quot;Seen through an angel&rsquo;s eyes,<br /> I&rsquo;ve found love where it truly lies,<br /> And when that angel cries,<br /> All my pain slowly dies&hellip;&quot; - Cassandra Burnes and Joseph Lyons


I am…
I am the person…

The person you look at twice,
I am the person that you move away from when I sit by you,
I am the person you talk and about and laugh behind my back,
I am the person you hate for no reason,
I am the person you deny knowing,
I am the person you will not befriend,
And above all…
I am the person you rejected.

But there is one simple fact that you refused to see,
And that is that…
I am just a person like you,
Even if your eyes tell you different,
I am your friend,
I am your helper,
I am the one who listens,
I am the one who cares,
I am the one who fights for you and protects you,
I am the one who encourages you,
I am the one who nurses you back to health…

But most important thing you neglected to see though that wall of shame, hatred, and blind ignorance is that…
I am human…
Just like you…
