We All Must Go Through It Sometime
Going to the same schools with the same people
The worst you could do is get a name
Your name sticks
There is no going back
That one faithful day
That one horrifying mistake
We walk around making sure that we look our best
Never letting our pants be unzipped
Always making sure that our shoes were free of toilet paper
Fearing to get called zippy, or toilet train
Dressing so uncomfortable that we get cuts and scares from the clothes that we wear
Making sure that we look like everyone else
Our differentially is stripped from us the moment we step into that setting
We are no longer our own human being
But a frighten wolf following the pack
Never questioning the leader
Never roaming away
Trying to comfort ourselves by reminding that we all go through it
Is this normal?
Do we need this to survive?
Wanting to be yourself
Can’t find a reason to let go
Afraid of the consequences
Be yourself
If they give you a name at least it is unique
At least u will show your kids that they have a chance
A chance to succeed without need the approval for worthless scumbags they call bullies
Maybe we are afraid
Of the “friends” we will lose
The things will miss
But who wants to be around people that can’t even accept you for who you are
So forget them
We all most go through the choice
But we get to regulate how much we take
