Shrouding My Differences

Almost every day I wear a hoodie.

To hide a part of me that I can’t escape.

It shrouds my difference from the world.

So that I can seem normal.

So I can fit in.

So that nobody can pick on me about it.

But they still do anyway.

Because that’s what they do.

Make fun of others to make themselves feel better even though they have their own problems.

That is why I wear a hoodie every day.

To hide from the mean comments and curses that people sent my way.

  • The Limit

    I reach my limit from time to time.

    whether it be at school or at home.

    I reach the limit of what my brain can handle.

    All of the noise of life becomes too much and I need to take a break.

    I need to turn my ears off.

  • Deep Thoughts

    I am a thinker.

    I think about big problems in the world and how to fix them.

    Like climate change, evolution, the state of humanity as of now.

    I write stuff down, half-finished thoughts scribbled, or typed on the page.
