That’s What I Am

By looking away, am I taking part?

Under pressure, will I become what I hate?

Look in the mirror and think about my own fate,

Listen to my heart as well as to my head and

Yearn to be the kind of person who stands above the rest.

 

Human Dignity + Compassion = PEACE

–Mr. Simon, “That’s What I Am”

 

Variety is something always found here.

Innocence does not have a mold,

Compassion is not always learned there.

To decide if you will stand up for yourself

Is not the only question that will be uttered.

Many find their path in trying to escape.

 

Life is about time, opportunity and choices… Sometimes you just need someone to tell you that you can.

–Mr. Simon, “That’s What I Am”

This was doubly inspired by the movie “That’s What I Am” and also by Cheryl over at Stop the Stigma.
