No, it’s NOT Hard to be Me

What a cruel thing  
to teach a child  

Saying because  
you are  
the way you are  
 
(Fill in whatever  
“disadvantage”  
you like to drive home)  
 
means life will  
be too hard  
for little you  
 
unless  
everybody stops  
everything and  
hurts themselves  
 
just to help  
one rise up  
 
like it’s too hard  
to just be themselves  
and be happy  
 
What a prison  
for their hope  
 
...if they believe it
