It's sadly amazing
they look just like you
but it's like they're purple
& you're blue
they're your family
but they don't love you for who you are
it's like as a person
to them you're a complete stranger
they look
but they don't see you
they listen but they don't hear the truth
they don't understand you
they just see difference & criticize
they don't grasp you
they don't see the story behind your eyes
blood related but just...
I don't understand...
How cab we be so alike....
yet so different...
you have a family & look just like them
but..you're the complete opposite of them
& the only thing they can do is judge.


IT HURTS....




YOU KNOW?

There were a few spelling mistakes in your poem. I love the poem, I like how it has a lot of emotion behind the words. Good job! I like how I can relate to your poem and it does rang true, also how it gives us a differnent view on blood-related families.

I love the poem, keep up the great work!
