Laughter
Laughter,
such a painful sound,
to be set apart,
to be different,
a curse,
to be a target,
to be pushed aside,
Laughter,
such a painful sound,
why do they laugh?
I have done nothing wrong,
why do they hurt me?
am I such a joke?
That you have to hurt me without a care,
is it so funny,
is the belonging that valuable,
is that all you want?
Acceptance,
then accept me,
accept Who I Am,
Accept my identity,
then I will show you,
true acceptance,
If you accept me,
I will accept you.
