14: Put down and stand up

I've been hurt,
I've been put down.
Humiliated and put on the spot,
Bullied and laughed at.
Tossed to the side and spat on.
Ridiculed for the tiniest things and discriminated for nothing
Been called an idiot, dumb, stupid and no brainer.
I've held strong through it all.
I've never cared nor thought about it.
It was normal for me.
How should I know what is normal and what isn't.
I thought it was a ritual,
I thought they were helping me fit in.
Whilst in all this time they were making fun of me.
I never cared though.
Why should I?
The only opinion that matters are my own and then my loved ones.
