Across humanity

All across humanity
I have met many friends
Across races and religions
Across cities and glens

They have different hair
Some are small some are tall
Their accents are unique
And I'm fond of them all

But to get to this point
I had to unlearn many things
To forget any stereotypes
That my subconscious brings

I have to be open
See each person anew
To exist on their own
Let the human shine through

It is not always easy
Sometimes I spoke wrong
Being social is hard
Forgiveness can be long

But for all my efforts
I am thankful in the end
So that across humanity
I can know many friends
