Is This What It Feels Like?

Is this what it feels like?

To not be considered human?

To be some invalid,

Invisible thing

That almost nobody wants?

Is this what it feels like?

To be rejected and turned away?

Because you’re not good enough?

To be scorned,

Mocked,

And ridiculed

Because they don’t see

That the monster isn’t you,

But the man calling the shots?

Is this what it feels like?

To be so hated and reviled?

Because they listened,

Not to me,

But to the words of one man?

Is this what it feels like?

Floating in orbit?

Just trying to survive the day,

Because your mental health

Already sucked

But now everyone’s making it worse?

Is this what it feels like?

To be so powerless?

To the point where you

Get angry at every little thing?

Is this what it feels like?

Because it feels lonely.
