Difference
I'm afraid I don't understand...
You are not us. You are them.
You have abandoned us
You have succumbed to their ways
You are a traitor
A murderer
You have turned your back on us
You have gone against our ways
You love the wrong sounds
You worship theirs and turn against ours
You love the wrong way
You love her when you should love him
You cannot love them both
Or else you are them
Or else you murder us
You oppress us
You degrade us
In favor of them
I don't understand
I don't understand
Why have I been cast away?
I see no betrayal
I see no derision
I am merely different
Different from you
Is that such a crime?
Were you not punished
For being different from them?
So why do you punish me
For being different from you?
Am I wrong?
Am I bad?
Am I a monster?
I don't understand

The Bloody Blood in Your Veins
Our Origins Today, I read something I didn't know—one more thing to add to all the other things I didn't know. By the time I grow up, I’ll have a collection. But it was intriguing, and it inspired me to write this post. I hope you enjoy it.
