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.
We are a group of people mostly under the age of 18 that according to the government might as well not exist.
We are underestimated by grown-ups
Because we have not been through all of school.
Every day at school is chaos.
The noise
The people
All the people
Sometimes I want to hide in a corner
To get away.
To recenter myself.
So that I don’t break down.
Whenever I see her I get a little feeling inside
My chest feels warm and I fill with pride.
I love that she has confidence in herself.
I love that we can sorta talk to each other.
