Under the Rock
Look under the rock,
you'll find many things,
pale sad creatures,
all running around,
monstrous things not pleasant,
no one wants to acknowledge,
they hide for fear of rejection and hate,
yet their ways change for no one,
behaviors destructive they hid long ago,
in exile from those that don't accept.
You've just been invited to life the large rock,
and stare at them all in the eye,
find out who they are and why they are there,
but please don't laugh at them.
When you leave, put the stone back where it was,
and keep what they say to yourselves,
Remember there are many rocks in this world,
wanting to be upturned and heard,
possibly, just possibly one near you...
