I long for acceptance to be shown me

A kind word to be given

A simple touch

To be granted me

Instead I receive hatred

And People's fear

For something I can never change

Only try to hide

Behind a cold, stoic mask

Because of this I stay hidden in darkness

So much kinder then the light

That will always judge me at first sight

Always will I live in deepest night

Longing to be part of humanity's masses

Longing for a loving word

Humbly begging for a mother's love

Instead receiving hateful stares from the masses

A piercing shriek instead of kind words

A stinging slap in love's place!

All I ever asked for was acceptance

That was denied me

Because of a face
