I hope you don’t judge me
By the pigment on my face
I hope you see more in me
Than the inches around my waist
I hope you stop believing
That age is a handicap
I hope you don’t seclude me
If we’re from different places on the map
I hope you don’t feel
As if I’m a threat to you
Just because my choice of partners
Is crucified by taboo
I am not the inferior gender
I demand equal place and pay
And when someone wrongs me
I hope Society doesn’t push me away
I hope you don’t shun me
Because my gender is undefined
I hope you don’t try your best
To crush me in the world’s grind
I hope you open your eyes and see
That our He was always the same
We need to stop all death and destruction
That happens in His name
I hope this system of division
Hasn’t stuck to your mind
And when it comes to basic rights
I hope I am not left behind

Hey guys! I'm new here so would really love to make new poet-friends and be a part of the community. Please be sure to leave a comment. Rip the poem apart if you like, constructive criticism is my salvation and is always eagerly awaited. Thanks a lot. Hope you have a great day and a great week.
Until next time,
Dhriti Seth
