Disregard is Disrespect

Disregard is Disrespect

 

I don’t have a responsibility

but because I feel one

I do

 

Let my voice and words be enough

if they are not

Let my deeds and actions be enough

if they are not

 

I will sacrifice:

my blood, my sweat, my tears

to try and make you understand

or at least comprehend

 

I am different from you

not that I am trying

 

I am the same as you

not that I am trying

 

Your definition of me and those that seem to be like me

is secondary maybe even tertiary

 

What matters is

the explanation of me as i interpret to you

just as

the explanation of you as you interpret to me

 

I am human as you

because

I AM
