Seeing


I have always wanted to be

a self reflection of my creativity,

not what society dictates

the nonconformace often leads to hate,

physical criticism from the social zoo

and then there are words that hurt too,

THEN ONE DAY I HAD ENOUGH!!!

this has got to stop, it we can end

by accepting each other as a friend,

I was a watcher that did nothing

then I decided to stand up for something,

against the grain can be hard

it is all well worth the reward,

in accepting others now I see

for me,

to be,

I had to truly see,

ME!

-For all my wonderful, weird, friends
