Why do you do this?

Why do you act surprised if I get a better score than you do,  or if I do something great? 

Why is it me who you blame even though you know it was your friend?
Why do you get to be the only one to ask us to marry you, when we might want to ask you to marry us?

Why is it that if I am lesbian, I am automatically gross?

Why am I less likely to be a CEO of a company than you? What makes you more qualified when I have been here twice as long as you?

Why do you get more attention for doing something worse than when I do something good?

Why am I bossy if I am the boss of the group but when you are, you are just a good leader? 

Why do you act like I shouldn’t be eating a lot of food when you and your friends eat way more than I ever will?

Why do you shy away from me if I am transgender, and act like I’m not human?

Why is it that if I get a B, I am dumb, and when you get a B, people act no different than they would if you got an A+?

Why do you get more freedom than me? 

Why are you supposed to get the girl that I like just because you are a boy and expect that they only like boys?

Why is it that if I talk a lot, I am a chatterbox, and when you talk a lot, it is just because you need to say a lot of stuff?

                                                                                        Why?

  • Dancing girl

    I laugh as she flips her hair towards me

    Her water bottle glimmers in the light

    That is as bright as a sun

    But what is the world becoming day by day

    When they say we cannot inhabit an area together
  • What I see

    The room is shaking for no reason at all

    I stare at my phone

    A glimpse

    Of desperation 

    Encountering the devil on the other side of the wall

    The other side of humanity
