Common Man Give Me A Chance Poem by RAJESHWARI SRINIVASAN

Common man - Give me a chance

I am the ordinary
not so well known not so accomplished
I am the ordinary
not so beautiful not so charming
I am the ordinary
not so rich not so bright
I am the ordinary
not so intelligent not so lucky
but still....
please give me the opportunity,
please give me my space,
please give me the encouragement
please give me the respect
not because i need it.
but because i too deserve it! !
