B anished from our society's view
L ooked askance at for being one of the few
A ble to hold strong against pressure to conform
C ourageous enough to live outside the norm
K eeping head high as others stare
S eeking to trip you up- for you dare
H ave a lifestyle different from theirs
E ntertaining opinions they do not share
E ven as they watch you, whisper, and sneer
P lease understand- it is your confidence they fear.
