The fact that we have to be on display
That showing our vulnerable parts
Is the best path to acceptance
Means that privacy is a priveledge
The risk is that we entertain
More than we educate
In our goal of finding empathy
Our lives become a curious show
Why do we have to teach compassion
When we start out in a deficit
We want to be treated as human
Not just characters of conversation.
