Rejection
I am…
 I am the person…
 
 The person you look at twice,
 I am the person that you move away from when I sit by you,
 I am the person you talk and about and laugh behind my back,
 I am the person you hate for no reason,
 I am the person you deny knowing,
 I am the person you will not befriend,
 And above all…
 I am the person you rejected.
 
 But there is one simple fact that you refused to see,
 And that is that…
 I am just a person like you,
 Even if your eyes tell you different,
 I am your friend,
 I am your helper,
 I am the one who listens,
 I am the one who cares,
 I am the one who fights for you and protects you,
 I am the one who encourages you,
 I am the one who nurses you back to health…
 
 But most important thing you neglected to see though that wall of shame, hatred, and blind ignorance is that…
 I am human…
 Just like you…
