Am I just a clump of bones?

With muscles and ligaments to hold me strong

I am just a clump of bones

I only last so long


Why am I even here

If I am not worthy of all lives cheers

I am just a clump of bones

With muscles and ligaments to hold me strong


Or am I more than that?

With a heart, and a personality

A unique brain

But does that even matter?


I wish to be more than just a clump of bones

And have feelings and emotions that will show strong

But am I allowed to express my opinions

Because in the end, I am just a clump of bones


We all are just clumps of bones

So why do some have more power than others

Why do some have the power to express their feelings and opinions

Because in the end, we all are just a clump of bones


Why isn't everyone even

When we all are just clumps of bones

What is so different

When we all are just clumps of bones


Why would color, race, disability

Change your rights

Everyone forgets to mention

We all are just clumps of bones…
