Dissenter
Last year I almost killed myself because who I am was not a question with an answer,
Now, I’m too scared to be who I found.
No, scared is not the word.
Ashamed.
I am ashamed to announce myself to the world.
I don’t want to be known.
Knowing myself is enough for me,
Why do I need to be labeled by everyone else?
There is no everyone else.
Why do I fear an everyone else?
Because separation brings fear.
Separation kills.
The community is a part of me,
But I am not a part of a community,
Because I am a part of evolution.
There is no them and us,
The same DNA led to us all,
But labels become defined,
And we get sorted.
Separation brings hate,
Hate kills.
Separation kills.
The world divides and divides,
As we grow farther apart,
we come closer to the grasps of hell.
