Never Give Up!

Never give up is what they say
But it’s so hard when you are faced with problems each day.
Hurtful looks and hurtful words,
Why does it have to come to this everyday?
I choose to speak to everyone only how I would want to be spoken to.
I choose to not see your colour, if you are a boy or a girl.
I don’t mind what you look like, I don’t see that you are a little bit different.
I only see your heart.
I don’t know why it’s so hard for others to see.
We stand up to these days, we survive and go on.
One day it will be easier, one day everything will change
But for now I say never ever give up!!
