Acceptance

Ajax (he/xe)

Will society ever accept me for me?

Or will I be an outcast

For all eternity

"You look sick, are you okay?"

Come on, I just didn't wear makeup today!

"Why so much makeup? Cake face!"

I just wanted to be pretty like Grace..

"You're so flat chested"

"Are you stuffing your bra or something?"

I was only trying to fit in

"Your thighs are too fat"

I know.. I look like an overfed cat

"Why don't you shave your legs?"

"You're such a nerd"

Am I not allowed to answer questions?

That's absurd!

"That hair makes you look dumb"

I just wanted to be someone..

"You should eat less, you're getting fat"

"Why not starve yourself?"

"You're just an anime loser"

"No one cares"

Stop all this!

I wish I wasn't this way

But I don't know how to change myself

To fit everyone's wants

Should I really try this hard?

No.

This is wrong!

No one should have to change

But if I don't, everyone will hate me.

So I might as well.

    Not nice to be bullied . You shouldn’t have to change for others … these people probably dislike themselves and lacking in self love .
