Expectations
There is a way they think we are,
A way that we will be
How can they think this of us,
When they have never seen
So great the world believes it is,
So boastful, so grand,
But we alone know the truth,
Of its evil hand
Yes, we will be put down,
Crushed in utter despair,
But we will rise above these words,
These taunts and stereotypes
Nary will it speak again,
Finding who we are
For when the world sees our beauty,
It will never win

I wrote this piece because there are so many stereotypes in the world. Everyone has felt judged and belittled, but it is important to remember that it doesn't matter what others think.
