All I am is a face

Lost within the crowd

Sep'rated by clothes nor race

My voice is not loud

I speak out my opinions

To myself, not to be heard

I hide among the minoins

Not uttering a word

Slowly my voice grows louder

People start to halt

Fear turns into powder

Almost to a fault

A crowd gathers ever nearer

Their minds begin to change

Once I was a fearer

I'll never be the same

I sport a gleeful smile

Forget of cynics

Boundaries are lost

And differences mix

I help change the world

In a way however small

I wear my independance

As a world-changer call

I am any person

Who speaks for what

They think is right

I am a child

Who said they thought it wasn't fair

That a bully took their ball

I am a teen

Who rejected temptations

Of smoke and drink

I am a woman

Who risked jail

To fight for voting

I am a man

Who decided that being a

Manservant was not enough

I am another race

Who boldly took my place as a minority

And fought descrimination

I am me
