This poem is for all those who are debarred from the "social circle" for certain physical differences or are labelled based on their physical traits.

*********************************************************

So what if I was told that I am what they call "obese",

So what if with popularity I'm not at ease,

So what if my skin is not the desirable colour,

You won't get it-you can't mould my demeanour.

Yes,you did make from me tears appear,

Yes,you were successful in inspiring my last failure,

Yes-you did give me a few wounds here and there,

Bu thanks-you didn't realize that your torture taught me to bear.

Debarred,If like you and a million others I couldn't be,

Charred,just for being me!

Scarred and penetrated with a blade-the result of your words,

Marked with the label "WEIRD" for not walking with the herds.

I've heard it before- "your dreams are just too big",

I've heard it before-"to make them come true,you just don't have the thing!

I've heard all of it "YOU ARE JUST NOT CAPAPABLE!"

All I'll say- Your tiny mind is too mediocre to process ,it was you wavering,I was stable.

I don't care what your words convey,

I don't bother to get caught in the games you play,

I don't get it how your maze doesn't wither,

How much ever you try,you won't see-"I AM NOT YOUR MIRROR!"
