Differences

By: Luna M.

I have seen for many years,

The differences between us all,

Our height, our race, our skin,

But it must end,

I shouldn’t be seeing others like this,

Because how would they feel,

To know that they were being judged,

And put down by at least one other?

I have heard for decades,

Dark and hurtful rumors,

In which I have played a part,

How they have changed since they were first created,

Monsters they have become,

Not just what is said, but the people too.

And there I go,

Starting a new rumor about the way people act,

How would those people then think of me?

Shallow, rude, or conceited?

And how many may even agree?

Is it not a possibility?

I have felt for many months,

Pain, happiness, anger,

And I know I’m not on my own,

My heart has as well been broken

And tainted with intimidated thoughts,

Yet I have also been given laughter,

That I could then pass on to friends,

And even another soul or two.

I know that I can bring pain,

Everybody can,

But I understand that I can counter it,

And enjoy the way a person will smile with pure gaiety,

At something I have done for them,

Perhaps I won’t even know the soul and have lifted their spirits unknowingly.

That would make me happy;

Adding another two grinning faces in our world.

Imagine if everyone smiled.

Sure, it may be impossible,

And the world could be boring if it was perfect,

But I’m just asking you to think about it.

In some ways it definitely would be better.

No doubt about that.

And some ways it may be worse.

I don’t doubt that either,

But who am I kidding?

I’m talking about something that isn’t real,

Rather much like a rumor…

I’m glad to have thought of the world differently,

Because I have seen, heard, and felt many different things,

Most of which I know I can’t change,

But,

But I know I can help.
