That moment
when your soul is publicly burnt
as you are the clown
of the classroom
the laugh of the town
Ridiculed for being who you are
A boy only ten years old
diagnosed
for making funny faces
having a heart of gold.
Every detail of your personality sucks
You know, you little idiot,
You stand out of the crowd
the wrong way.
That moment when they stand around you
in endless circles
and where ever you look
you’re being targeted.
Beaten up
Silenced, ignored,
Thrown from your bike.
That moment when you realize
Maybe this is it
and it will not change.
