Are we not all the same?

Did we not all come into this world the same way?

Were we not all babies,

toddlers,

children,

teenagers,

adults?

Do we not all feel joy,

sadness,

fear,

torment,

anguish,

excitement,

anticipation?

Do we not all bleed red,

breath the same air,

see the same sunset?

Do we not all stand naked?

Do we not all want the same things from life,

friends,

family,

love?

Do we not all work,

pay taxes,

drive a car,

buy food,

want the simple things in life?

Do we not all dream?

If all this is true, then tell me one thing....

How are we different?

Why do we see each other differently?

We all live...

We all die...

That's a given

Why do some people,

make other people,

wish they did not exist?

If we are all the same,

why do we try so hard to show others

They are different?
