Poetry for people who could use a little kindness

Our World

This world
doesn't want people like me

People who were born different
People who were raised differently
People who look and think differently

People like me
People like you
People like us

They try to beat us into place
Convince us that no one wants us
Erase us from the narrative
Hope that everyone forgets about us
Then leave us to deal with the trauma
All on our own

But we are not alone
We are not wrong
Every single person in this world is different in a million different ways
Who are they to say that their ways are right and ours are wrong?

We are different
We are unique
We cannot be silenced
We cannot be erased

Because this is our world

and we will not be forgotten
