a poem by Caroline Ward about the voices of minorities.

we shouldn’t be defined
is it equality to walk down the halls and be looked at different
and for people to think you don’t matter because you are a irrelevant
that needs to change
one life shouldn’t matter more than the other so we need a new way to arrange
the change starts with the youth
let’s do it for Timmy and young Ruth
fight for equality because not everyone is born the same
we are different and because of it we are left out of the game
the game we call life is harder for us
but all you think is we’re making a fuss
we don’t matter until we do something wrong
but give it a week and you’ll carry-on
you treat us like a trend
but we aren’t objects like you pretend
so here we stand for those who can’t
