You can't play me
Like a chess piece
You can't slay me
Like prey
You can't treat me
Like I'm lesser
You can't
You can't
You just can't
For I am a human being
I have
Rights
Freedom
And dignity
I have
Love
Hope
And trust
I am not some puppet in your play
I am not some punching bag at the gym
I am not some target that you can shoot at
I am alive
So you can't
Shoot me down,
Kick me when I'm on the ground
Hurt me and think I'll come back around
I am alive
And I have the right to be free
