As each has their own idea
They are still exposed
Left open To be impressed upon
By the ideas of society
Marked by the words
Images
Biases
And prejudices of others
How will they grow
How can they grow
With these ideas
Heavy on their shoulders
Like Atlas carried the world
So they shall be left
To be laden with this burden
But if we can reach them
And teach them
Their own ideas are important
Their feelings are of value
Uniquely their own
They may grow
And develop
Into people
Who might challenge us
And help us not to be
Devoured by this society's ideals
We shall reach them
And encourage them
Each and every one
To question and challenge themselves
To think
To dream
And to learn
