He's sad.
He knows they'll never accept him.
"You'll never be like us" they'll say.
"Why would you even think like that? What a waste."
You are a disappointment.
He knows he won't be allowed to live normally.
Never to be given the privileges She has.
But She's sad too.
She knows
She won't fit in.
There's no group or clique She'll ever really belong to.
But She tries
She tries so hard everyday
But it's like running a race
With shoes too big
Or clothes too long
It just doesn't fit.
It won't work.
Her efforts are useless.
She's scared
Terrified.
And They will never understand Him or Her.
They will never accept them as they are.
They will force them to conform to Their definition of normal.
Because it's easier for Them that way.
Easier to crush Him and Her.
They'll do anything to make them
"fit in"
Even if it means They have to cut off a few traits of theirs They don't think is needed.
His personality
Her opinions
their thoughts
their sense of self
Everything that makes them
Him
And
Her
They have no boundaries.
They show no mercy.
