How dare you be different from me
How dare you not look, talk, think,
Feel
As I do
How dare you constantly suggest
As you do by being other
That I
What I think
What I feel
What I am
Is wrong
How dare you suggest
As you do by being other
That I am not the standard
By which all should be judged
How dare you
As you do by being other
Make me feel uneasy
Insecure
“Uncomfortable”
I will hurt you for your insult
Of not being like me
I will punish you for this affront
I will righteously condemn you for your crime
Of existing
As “other”:
How dare you be different from me
How DARE you be DIFFERENT from me
