Being different is nothing new.
Some of us have been this way for millennium
Time goes on while people stare
They stare like they have never seen a human
I have
They are beautiful creatures
If only they knew
Some choose to embrace it
Others choose to deny it
Its sad watching someone have an internal fight
You shouldn't have to have one
But you do
Family try to say its a phase
Its not you
"Friends" try to get the old you
But thats not me you say
You learn who your real friends are
The ones who say,
This Is You.
I love you too!
We're going to help you get through it.
Being different is nothing new.
Being different is a choice to be you.
Being different is showing the world who you are.
Being different is being Aliento the rest of the world.
Being different is Being HUMAN.

I hope people will stop judging. You don't like it when its done to you, so why would you do it to someone else. I want people to be themselves and that is something rare on Earth.
