Eyes
I do not mind your judging eyes
I do not mind your hatred.
I do not mind what lies beneath your mask
I do not mind your loathing.
Tell me that you hate me
Tell me you wish I was dead.
Tell me all Jews are not worth saving
Tell me all gays have no right to live.
I do not care for your judging eyes
I do not care for your opinion.
I do not care for your lack of humanity
I do not care for you.
I will grow stronger
I will fight back.
I will be a real human.
I will be better than you.
I am proud
I am sacred.
I am sorry though.
I am because you are too.
