We are all stuck
in a world
made up of only our imagination.
People only see what they
want to see.
Most of them anyway.
Others like me see everything
but.
We are the Misfortunates
The ones that are looking
up instead of down on others
because that's all we’ve ever been taught.
Luckily,
I’m not anything for images
so therefore I don’t care
what everyone calls me.
Even if it is a Misfortunate.

This is how I see things. It doesn't matter what people think about you so no matter what they see just be yourself and you will be a lot happier.
