Face Your Fear








Why is it so hard for me
to be able to be seen
as capable in my own right
and valuable to a team?

Why is it so hard for you
to see here a real person,
not the weirdo you think I am, 
and that I can contribute too?

Why the discrimination?
What is it you're afraid of?
Who is it that's really challenged?
When will you see God's creation?

Stop! And look in the mirror;
ask yourselves all these questions.
What are the answers you're getting?
The circumstance should be clearer.

If you're honest with yourselves
you will have to acknowledge 
a form of stigma and bias
we've always known exists ourselves.

It's time to make a change here.
Please don't wait any longer.
Exclusion causes us great pain
and you need to move past the fear.
