It's a poem writen after the columbine schoolshooting.

Please Remember

Please take a minute to remember
What teasing, name calling, and ridiculing can do
The harm that it can cause
The people that it can hurt
The turmoil that it adds to
As I try to figure out where I fit in

I am someone's son
I am someone's daughter
I am someone's pride and joy
I am the center of someone's universe

Please don't classify me
For the clothes that I wear
Or for the music that I listen to
Because I may be short or tall
Because I am fat or thin
Don't classify me
For the color of my skin

Please don't categorize me
Because I excel academically or athletically
Because I may be an honor student
Because I may play sports
Or because I'm none of the above

Don't call me a nerd, geek, preppy, or a jock
I just do some things better than you
And other things not as well
Am I different from you, or
Are you different from me
Aren't we just individuals
Each trying to make our own way in life

Please take a minute to remember
I am someone's son
I am someone's daughter
I am someone's pride and joy
I am the center of someone's universe
