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.

  • Summer

    The cool air on my face.

    The sun blazing overhead.

    Running through the neighborhood with friends.

    With no fears of school bothering your mind.

  • What did I do?

    I have been feeling like I am even more different then normal because of my math teacher that I have. When I ask for something that I need to do well in school even though we are done with class and are waiting for the next class to be ready.
