If They Could

Category: Cyborg

Everyday people look at me

Like I'm not equal to them.

Just because I'm a little different,

I cannot become their friend.

If they could see through my eyes,

Everything would look the same.

They'd know my heart was in the right place,

And my appearance has no one to blame.

If they could walk in my shoes,

You know that the soles are wearing out.

It's so easy to see through lies,

I know that it's me that they're talking about.

If they could listen to my heartbeat,

They'd know there's nothing different about me.

Personalities can be so opposite,

From what you hear and see.

If they could be inside my mind,

For just one minute of the day.

They'd know that I am just one person,

I can't stop the cruel things they say.

And if they could let my soul touch theirs,

They'd know the pain I must endure.

And if they could swim inside my tears,

They'd know for me there is no cure.

If people didn't care what I looked liked

There would be no reason for me to hide.

I wish that people would just accept me,

For what I am inside.
