Suppose

suppose that I am different
too unique for the universe to accept into its dead circle
suppose that my hands are not long  enough to reach out to a dream that was never mine

suppose that my heart is not strong enough to forgive or even forget just like the bible says I should
suppose that I do care that for some strange reason rain drops will fall on my unrelaxed hair
suppose that the fact that one way or the other society expects for us to be the same as every other human yet we were all designed differently

suppose that I do not want to trend on social media and join the long line of girls wanting to be accepted by everyone else
yet they haven't even accepted themselves 

lets.......
for a second even a year suppose that being different is more beautiful than being the same.
