It doesn't matter where you're born into.
What matters is if you have the courage and strength to become who you want to be.
To get to know and understand your purpose in the world.
If we all knew this, maybe the world would be a better place for all of us.
A place where we all accept each other for who we are, not for who we're not.

The author's comments:
The main thing that inspired me to write this piece was seeing people worry about how society sees them. It then got me thinking, what if everybody accepted each other for who they are on the inside instead of what they're not. The message I hope people get from this poem is to be their own person because everyone is unique in their own way.
