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.
