Don't feel stupid if you don't like what everyone else pretends to love.
-Emma Watson


Secrets,
Kept at arms length.
Not spoken but felt
Emotions build a barrier,
A box in which you’re engulfed in.
Like a cage in which the bird sings,
Beautiful doves cooing the sounds of their distress,
It has become an accustomed sound to a passerby.
A revel to stop at.
You seek pain in the beautiful,
Has it become a passion to see the great struggle?
To focus on the strong,
And to finally
Break them.


The author's comments:

Some people in this world are so cruel as to try and pick on the ones that are different.  Or the happiest, and that is becomeing more and more acceptable.  I find it appauling, and I would only love to say this to everyone affected, I'm sorry.  You are beautiful.
