Sticks & Stones

Can you envision what it's like,
To think outside the lines;
Behind the vision that society tries
To sink inside your mind?

People are quick to throw rocks,
If you don't fit into a little box-
But that's no place for me,
you see I need a bigger place
to spill my thoughts.

I'm not trying to impress anyone,
I'm just trying to express myself;
With no judgements passed upon me,
At the hands of someone else.

Have you been treated less than human,
For simply being who you are?
If you've been feeling like a nuisance,
You should know that you're a star.

No one should have to bear the mark
For the way they wear their scars;
Those sticks and stones may break my bones,
But they will never break my heart.
