You and me are the same-inherently



If you silence me
I do not surrender
Because I have found my indomitable spirit within
If you lead me
I do not follow
Because I may have to lead myself
If you push me back
I do not collapse
Because I have gained my strength
If you strike me
I do not turn the other cheek
Because my cheek has found limitations
If you hate me
I do not feel sad
Because I have found you are funny
If you do this and that to me
I may resist allowing you
But do not treat me like
A lovable gentle one turns into a demon all of sudden
But you know what
I am the same one
But never is the different one
The same one with its power
The same one with its voice
The same one with its spirit
The same one with its life
But do not be scared of my changing
Do not be panic about my rising voices
Do not feel disappointed of my not being obedient
Do not let your anger overwhelm you
Do not be frustrated of my shining
But calm down
Let’s communicate
Let’s negotiate
Let’s cooperate
Let’s love each other
Let’s rise together
There is no such thing
You infringing upon my freedom or power
There is no such thing
One is superior or inferior to another
All is born in the same planet
Each life has its own space to flourish
Thus, you have to learn
About no dominance
No coercion
No oppression
No hatred
No maltreatment
No difference
Between us
