My rights
Are my mirror
They reflect me
They reflect how people think of me
The mirror is small
Just big enough to see my face
It has a copper rim
Like a lucky penny
But not as lucky
My mirror is shattered
Broken into many pieces
The edges are sharp
Mean
Cruel
My reflection spread across all of them
The copper rim
Is rusted
I can try to put it back together
But everytime
I get pricked
Everytime
I get stopped
I hope one day
My mirror will be one
My face will be seen
There will be no sharp edges
It will be whole
I hope one day
My rights will be whole
