I wish I was from
I am from an unaccepting world.
Where from the time born, I lived to conform;
society set the standard and it demands following.
I wish I was from a place where living as an individual satisfies,
a place where people feel accepted.
Somewhere I enjoy surviving as myself.
I am from an individualistic country.
Where the population looks out for themselves;
society operating on personal growth.
I wish I was from a place where people love others, as they love themselves,
a place where love prevails over hate.
Somewhere we care for each other.
I am from a smug, arrogant community.
Where intellect isn’t enough;
society serves as the judge and jury of what victory is.
I wish I were equal,
from a place where money does not mean enjoying a step above.
Where what exists on the inside matters.
