I am Pluto.
A planet not big enough to be considered one,
living in shame because everyone ignores me,
but won't they see?

I am Pluto.
I scream, "I am one of them."
Those planets and people of Earth don't ever listen,
but I have a vision.

I am Pluto.
I will be big enough to be a planet again one day,
a fact everyone will accept. 
No one will see me as just some object.
