This Message Is For You

It’s time the world sees your debut

This Message Is For You

I have a message for you.

I can't see what you’re going through.

I can't say that I know you

or what it is to wear your shoes.

With injustice, we all lose.

I won’t be silent. I refuse.

Each of us has power to choose.

To be the change for something new

be the bold among the few.

Ones standing side by side, who

will shout loud, “We stand for you!”

We purge out prejudice views,

no one has the right to abuse,

We speak out against taboos,

Surely we are not so askew

for a societal renew.

I ache for what we can’t undo.

Past pain a permanent tattoo.

Maybe we can be the glue,

Wake up! This is our cue!

Kindness is not hard to do.

You are worthy! Do you know it’s true?

You’re enough, because you’re you!

Not due to the street where you grew

or the job you might pursue.

It’s time the world sees your debut,

It’s time the world sees you for YOU!
