Daily chaos

Every day at school is chaos.

The noise

The people 

All the people 

Sometimes I want to hide in a corner 

To get away.

To recenter myself.

So that I don’t break down.

So that I seem to be fine even though I am hiding a part of myself that I can never escape.

Something that I have had my whole life.

Something I can’t do a damn thing to change.

So I just want people to get off my back.

To just leave me alone so that I can get through the day.

But they don’t because they don’t give a damn.

Because why would they?

    Because we have not been through all of school.

    Shrouding My Differences

    Almost every day I wear a hoodie.

    To hide a part of me that I can’t escape.

    It shrouds my difference from the world.

    So that I can seem normal.

    So I can fit in.

    So that nobody can pick on me about it.

    A little feeling

    Whenever I see her I get a little feeling inside

    My chest feels warm and I fill with pride.

    I love that she has confidence in herself.

    I love that we can sorta talk to each other.
