Like Other People
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Curious eyes turn and stare, telling lies of how they care.
Wondering eyes try to guess of how we live in such distress
Little do they really know of how we live and how we grow.
We are like other people.
We live as others do.
We can be strong beyond belief.
We can shed tears to find relief
from those eyes that make us weak.
It is time for us to speak!
We are like other people.
We love. We laugh. We cry.
We can be loved. We can be whole.
We have a life. We have a soul.
Although, we seem so stiff and worn.
It was God's wish that we were born.
Curious eyes are so blind.
All the lies are so unkind.
Wondering eyes, please, try to learn
how to help with true concern.
Society cannot be fair until society is aware
and every eye can really see that we can together be
like other people.
Twisted legs try to walk. Broken voices try to talk
Honest efforts to be free.
ADJUSTING to reality.
Oh, dear God, we have a mind!
Why are humans so unkind?
Teach them, please, at any cost
that we are like other people.
If they hurt us; we will bleed.
If they help us; we'll succeed....
like other people.
Society cannot be fair until society is aware
and every eye can really see that we can together be
like other people
