A People Place

If this is not a place where tears are understood;

where do I go to cry?

If this is not a place where my spirits can take wing;

where do I go to fly?

If this is not a place where my questions can be answered;

where do I go to seek?

If this is not a place where my feelings can be heard;

where do I go to speak?

If this is not a place where you'll accept me as I am;

where can I go to be?

If this is not a place where I can try to learn and grow;

where can I just be me?
