Different
April 12, 2012
I always felt different when
My friends would go
With out me
I felt like an outcast
I didn’t want to say anything
For fear they would laugh at me
I felt like an outsider
Too embarrassed to tell them how I felt
Ask them why
Or make any kind of change
Eventually I moved towns
Found the courage
To be vulnerable,
To put myself out there
And ask
The courage in me arose
To no extent
To no end
Consisting of my only power
My strength
And my hope
