Why do you stare?
Why do you glare?
Why can't you just accept me for who I am?

I am unique,
Not a following uniformic lamb.

You all judge me,
Because I am different,
But you are all the same.

Laughter,
Taunting,
Teasing.
When will it end?

When my soul is dead,
Will you understand?

Because I have different beliefs,
I cannot have relief,
From you defeaning blows to my heart.

Even my kin,
Think I am dimwitted,
And wrong.

So here is my plea,
Don't judge,
Don't laugh,
Don't taunt,
Don't tease.

It hurts your friends,
And the ones around you.
Now, will you see?
