I am Strong...

Hurting others' feelings has no charm indeed...

Yes, I am chic the way I am

You have no right to call me lame

You laugh at my gait

You mock my hair

But you have no idea from what I suffered

My leg got sore when I was little

Still I try my best to walk linear

I got a shock when I was seven

And my hair were burnt to dry vegetation

Still I recovered the best I could

And live my life with pleasure I would

Yes I am chic the way I am

You have no right to call me lame

'Hurting others' feelings has no charm indeed...', surely. We humans are so good at judging others and giving them labels without realizing what they have went through.

'Yes, I am chic the way I am
You have no right to call me lame'
...love these lines, every single person has a right to live their life the way they want it to be lived and no second person has a right to spell out for them.

We humans should always work to make others rise with us rather than putting them down with harsh words and acts. That's what true humans are..

I very much enjoyed reading this. Short and straight to the point, I like that. A very powerful message. I could read it as both against prejudice or as keeping strong when no one else believes in you, might just be my view though.. But very good!

[Noor.92]
