Ridiculed for being fat
Slandered because you’re thin.
Made to feel guilty for just being you
All because of the color of your skin.

Disliked because of your religion
Chastised for the way that you talk.
Looked down on because of the job you do
Laughed at because you limp when you walk.

Despised for being successful
Berated for trying, though you failed.
Mocked for showing your emotions
When told your kind aren't allowed.

Your barred from being yourself
With prejudice from which they won't budge.
But if they took a look at themselves
They would see they have no room to judge.
