And let each other be

The last time I checked in the mirror
I looked every bit a human.
I drank water when thirsty
And ate what I had when hungry
I was taught I had rights in all boundaries
My passion was equally colourful
My skin, brown and brave, as always
I believed in beliefs until
I was afraid to see the light
I have the right to believe
While you are free not to
I breathe in the same air
My blood is red too.
I want to walk life my way
But not where your roads want me to
My rights could be your wrongs,
You may go to bed
When I start to beat the heat
The bread I eat smells of my sweat
Our dawns are the same
Though our dreams may not be.
We could see the sun from our windows
And let each other be.
