topic: people can hate you for who you are by Amanda L Marron i affected your life
you didn't affect mine
you hate me for being me
though i know no other way to be
this is who i am
i refuse to change for anyone
either accept me as i've always been
or don't accept me at all within
people can hate you for your actions
hate you for your words
but to hate you for who you are
is something i still find bizarre
some things you were born with
your gender, your sexuality,
your body and your bloodline
those things that make you just fine
other things formed as the older you grew
your spirit, your conscience,
your knowledge and your mind
all of those things that make you of unique kind
most people today are scared
of anyone who's different from they
ignorance still gloats of the past tidings
still haunt us today, hiding 10/09/2003 Author's Note: my first topic poem that i got the idea for from Allan Haslinds
