Always

I have always felt

Out of place

Deeply strange and unknown

Kids can be cruel

But what of the kids who feel they are cruel for being

Just being

Unaware of who they are when everyone seems to find it so easy to just be

Kids who felt pushed away from places that they felt happy in because they were suddenly now being told this is who you are and how you behave

Growing up to feel so that this is what you’ve got so this is where you belong

When you ask why things have to change and no one understands that your world is shrinking before you can stop it
