Stay Strong

It hurts when you're young
When kids laugh
And call you names
And parents say
Words don't hurt
But they do
A long lasting pain
That follows
Through your teen years
Because you don't fit in
What they call...the elite class
Your sexual preference, physical appearance
Your level of intelligence
Anything for people to scrutinize
It all burns a hole in your soul
But don't get discouraged
Stay strong
You're a person of a different class
A trendsetter for those whom
Haven't found the courage to be themselves
You're special
Someone I believe in
Your the person who gives me
Hope, motivation, and drive
To continue to breakthrough the negativities
That has been thrown into my life....
So stay strong my brave friend
Because better days are bound to come
