Like Them

You say you aren’t like them

But when I catch you in the mirror

All you do is stare

You say you aren’t like them

But you cry over

Fallen leaves in October

And whisper for time to move slower

You say you aren’t like them

But you feel those knots in your chest

Every time the past decides to reappear

You say you aren’t like them

But you are just like them

And that’s nothing to be ashamed of

You deserve to have faults

You deserve to have joy

You deserve to be human
