Favorite Quote:
Never forget who you are, for surely the world won’t. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.” -Tyrion Lanniser (ASoIaF)

Names race through my mind
names like freak
abnormal
weirdo
names that the people
who stare at me in the halls
have given me
but i dont see these as insults
i see them as medals
titles i have earned
for being me
and not them
