Different

Different

Dear people of the world,

Here is a poem about my experiences titled "Different:"

Some say im different

Some say im weird

Some say im a freak

I say im human

 

My dads say I’m smart

My dads say I’m beautiful

My dads say I’m kind

I say I’m confused

 

All these labels put upon me

Why cant I just be myself

Why can’t they accept my parents

Why does that have to affect me

 

I’m forced to lie

To smile away the truth

Pretend im “normal”

What does normal even mean

 

I say im human

I say im confused

I say why am I considered different

 

Sincerely,

Sarah
