The Things They Called Me
November 8, 2013
The things they called me hurt,
not because they were
untrue,
but because
I wished them to be true.
A witch,
could hold her own,
against
laughing, jeering
faces.
A demon,
could scare away
anyone
pretending, faking
friendship.
The things they called me hurt,
not because they were
untrue,
but because
I wished them to be true.

I don't really expect anyone to get much from it, but perhaps someone, somewhere, will be encouraged that they aren't the only ones going through stuff like this.
