The song of a human heart

The world's a masquerade
Everyone has a disguise
We should know this by now, it's not a surprise

People mask their emotions
They think they must hide
They never tell the world, but they always confide

People should love themselves
Exactly how they are
Not cutting themselves, leaving one big scar

I've never met a person
Who's as ugly as they claim
They should realize that by now, and throw away their shame

Don't be blinded by opinion
Don't be blinded by race
Because if you do this, you're a big disgrace, to the whole human race

Everyone was created equal
It's in the constitution
Now let's reinforce that with some positive reinstitution

People exist to be loved
They're not to be hated
It's not the way we work, or the way we were created

Live to love
And love to live
Realize you have nothing more valuable than yourself to give

"Live to love

Welcome to WritersCafe. It has been such a long time to see such good poetry from someone so young. Reminded me of myself at that age. Well done.

I like the way you have maintained the structing of three lines per stanza and the consistent rhyming scheme.

The First Stanza, Fifth Stanza are excellent and impressed me.

Well done. Thank you for being on WritersCafe.
