The Journey to Acceptance By Judy Sango

Waiting for acknowledgement To wait for life to be seen , To have your worth recognized keenly , For equality to become serene , Is a struggle the world has never seen . Do I wait for others to see , Their own humanity in me ? Decades of trying to be free , In a world without empathy . We struggle on , can ’ t you see , Living in a world without heat .
But we must wait , patiently and with grace , for the world to open its eyes and truly see our faces .
We have fought so hard , yet obstacles still remain , but with unity and persistence , our efforts will not be in vain .
We wait for unity , hearts made whole , Intelligence merged one common goal . To see the worth in every other , To cherish the earth , our only mother .
Open doors , easy to grasp , and embrace , love at last , Waiting for decades , endless weight , Hopeful hearts , we patiently wait .
This heavy burden we all share , This weight of hate we cannot bear , Despair clings to us like stagnant air , But we rise up , despite the weight we wear . So we wait , for dawn to break Long hours pass , with no mistake Patience wears thin , it ’ s hard to take But we hold on , for our own sake .
