This world
doesn't want people like me
People who were born different
People who were raised differently
People who look and think differently
People like me
People like you
People like us
They try to beat us into place
Convince us that no one wants us
Erase us from the narrative
Hope that everyone forgets about us
Then leave us to deal with the trauma
All on our own
But we are not alone
We are not wrong
Every single person in this world is different in a million different ways
Who are they to say that their ways are right and ours are wrong?
We are different
We are unique
We cannot be silenced
We cannot be erased
Because this is our world
and we will not be forgotten

We don't belong here
They don't want us
They won't accept us
Even though it's all we know
We can keep trying
Changing ourselves to fit in
But when I do that
I suffocate
I want to be me
So I'm going to find a place
Where I belong
Even if I have to make it myself
I'd like it if you were there too
The outcasts, the misfits
We have our own place somewhere
And we'll get there
One day

Sometimes my brain
is confusion
and chaos
A balloon of noise
about to go POP
I need to ease the pressure
I know how
I just need
to let it
all
out
Please be patient
Please be kind
I'm dumping out
my brain
with you
because I trust you
Because I need
to let it
all
out

My head is a mess
Full of thoughts I can't convey
Words
images
Half incomplete sentences
All running together like paint
To form
a blurred
idea
But my thoughts are IMPORTANT
Just like me
So I need you
To be
patient
And wait while
I
make
sense
of the beautiful chaos
That is me

My pain is not funny
I am not a toy
for your amusement
You can say
over and over again
that it's only a joke
But I am not laughing
I'm crying
SCREAMING
and that is not funny
Please stop taking my things
Please stop moving them
Please stay out of my personal space
Please leave me alone
Those are boundaries
and ignoring them
might make you laugh
but it tears me apart
Please respect my boundaries
Please stop actively causing me pain
Because my pain hurts
And it
is
not
funny

We can hear them laughing
For me, it was a lifetime ago
For you, it's happening right now

It’s the cool kid table
You know the one I mean
It’s the one with the people
that just fit in naturally

I was so excited to see you
that I jumped for joy and squealed
But when I ran to greet you
You backed away in fear

I wanted to show how much I care
So I sat and listened to you talk
But I didn't respond or react
So you thought I wasn't paying attention

You’re not like them
Maybe you act a bit different
Or you don’t look like everyone else
Or they don’t understand you when you talk
