All of you look at me in discrimination.You judge with your eyes, not your heart.Is that what your God tells you to do? To look at me without knowing who I am and base your judgement on biases?
Luckily, I know that all of you are narrow minded. Personally, I don't take offense. Waste of energy, it is, if I let these expressions get to me. Funny how all of you MUST tell me how I do not belong.
One of you, I am not. Never, will I be. Few in the many do not look at me as if I'm a savage. Those are the few I care to be around.
If I worried about what others thought,My place would not be here. An example, I try to be. So what if someone is different? Why mark me with your discrimination?
Energy... You're wasting your energy. Because I've had practice with my blood. They proved to me that blood doesn't make you family. That home isn't a building.
Home, is where my friends are. Family are the people who care for me and want what's best for me. These people don't bring me down, they lift me up and help me become a better person. General population, if you would, don't bother with your dirty looks.
For, to me, all you're doing is expressing how you're all ignorant fools. -May 11, 2019
