Alone Together

August 17, 2020

You’re not like them
Maybe you act a bit different
Or you don’t look like everyone else
Or they don’t understand you when you talk

You laugh when everyone else cries
You scream when everyone else laughs
The wrong words slip out
At the worst possible times

I’ve done those things too
We’re not the same as everyone else
But we can find a place together
Just the two of us

One day, they’ll accept us
Because there’s nothing wrong with us
But until they see that,
We can spend our time alone, together
