Not Alone

Unwanted.
Is that how you feel, too?
Same here.
Not even sure what I did,
But apparently it was wrong.

You too, huh?

Well, for me,
I followed my instinct
And did what I thought was right…
But instead,
People
Laughed,
Mocked,
Snickered,
Shunned,
Rejected
Me.

What about you?
It’s ok. You can tell me.
We’re both sitting here being hurt anyway.
You don’t say?
Sounds pretty rough.
You’ve been through a lot.

Don’t worry, you’re not the only one.
I’m sure you’re not the only one.
And if you are…
You’re aren’t.
Because I’m here, too.

You know,
People can fake things really well.
Don’t be fooled by those
Around you.
Everyone is fighting a war inside them right now.
Everyone includes you.
And me.
