Some love different
Than just girls and boys
Similar to me.
Similar to many
who others don’t understand.
Those others insult or hate on our love

And I hold back my
Tears.
Refusing to flood the earth
With my sadness
And anger.
At home, my family comforts me

To no avail
Each comment makes
My heart sink lower
Until my heart is almost down
To the core of the Earth.
And sometimes I wonder
If I was ‘normal’
Would they accept me then?
