FACES ON HIDE

I'm a teenage mom.

You look at me at disgust

Like I'm a trash

You look at me with eyes so cold

You don't know I was abused when I was twelve years old.

I have a huge scars on my face.

You tell me I'm ugly,

And I don't deserve any.

Live with only lonely,

You don't know I was once a soldier who sacrifice for my country.

I'm a gay.

You say I look like a mess,

Treating me like a dumb less.

Deserve to die in flesh

You don't know I did this to please my mom who longs for a princess.

I'm a lesbian.

You consider me nonsense,

Think of me brainless.

Look at me useless,

You don't know I turn out like this for self-defense.

I'm an indigenous man.

You treat me like a dog astray,

Pass by me day by day.

You don't know I came to this place first but I was thrown far away.

I hear your discrimination, I just sigh

I'm a person just like you, though I seem unwise.

But always know that there is more than meets the eye.

Just look deeper and you'll see Faces on hide.
