I Am A Person

I am a person, just like you
I may look different, but I am a person
I may speak a different language, but I am a person
I may be clumsy, but I am a person
I may be little, but I am a person
I may be a refugee, but I am a person
I may have a disability, but I am a person
I may be poor, but I am a person,
I may be homeless and lonely, but I am a person

I may be shy and quiet, but I am still a person
I may be loud sometimes, but I am still a person
I may be energetic and silly, but I am still a person
I may have different qualities and characteristics to you, but I am still a person
I may not be as sporty as you, but I am still a person

I am a person and I love to be respected the same as others would,
no matter what I am or what I look like, I am still a person
