Some believe I am silent as an owl
Others consider me to be as loud as an elephant

But I am neither
I am both

A few feel I am fierce
Though many assume I am weak

No matter what, I am lonely

I do not expect attention
Nor do I await hate

I only presume acceptance
Which I hope for with every passing day

I wish people would see me for who I really am

A bird with intelligence and interest

One who demands respect

Not hate
Not displeasure
Not annoyance

Please

No more injustice
