Everyone Deserves A Chance

Does the world have to be so cruel? 
People deserve their shot to succeed, 
Many times this world and the people in it destroy people’s chances of succeeding, 
Is it cause they are scared?  
Are they jealous of the potential one has? 
Nothing justifies the joy and choice of destroying one’s life, 
Everyone wants a happy and healthy life with no problems, 
Too many times do we find that our world has targeted more victims, 
Why does it have to be so cruel? 
We need to be more united and care about other people and their dreams, 
No matter race, religion, sexuality, anything that makes someone themselves,  
Who are we to judge another human on how they live their life, 
What gives us the right to tear them down and ruin their life because we don’t agree with them, 
We need more good in our society, 
More people to care and love someone for who they are instead of trying to change them, 
Everyone should be able to do the things they want to do, 
No matter how they grew up or what lifestyle they were born in, 
They deserve the same opportunity as someone with a good life, 
No one’s success is handed to them, 
Everyone has to work for what they want and deserves the same opportunities, 
We need the work and competition, 
It is natural to have some disliking or hate in a life, 
But no one should be stripped of their dreams, 
Rough life or no rough life, 
Everyone deserves a chance.

My name is Evelyn M., I am a senior at high school in TN. I have written a Free Verse poem about a Social Injustice and that discusses my feelings. I have worked very hard to improve my writing and to try to get my thoughts out there for people to here and to understand.
