I know what it’s like to be
unfriended
boycotted
disenfranchised
I know how it feels to be
on the outside
looking in
separate, not equal
I know what they mean when they say
I’m a bleeding heart
liberal
hippie
I understand they don’t mean that
as a compliment
in a pleasant way
with respect.
It hurts when old friends pile on
hurling epithets
hurting feelings
disregarding my rights
But I won’t back down because
my voice counts
I’m not stupid
I won’t be silenced.
A trip through life with fingers crossed and eternal optimism.
Doing the best I can with what I have
kind of sad, but not so bad with cheese. cheese not provided.

Exactly. Sometimes it’s worse to be one of the herd.

It would be so easy to just go with the flow. I can’t! I’ve tried.

Going with the flow never got me anywhere. I’ve had too much experience with that. Much better to try using my own mind and judgement for a change.
