Different

Out of the corner of your eyes
     You look
               at me
   You attempt
             to mock me

You hate the way I am
                       The color of my skin
                       The tone in my voice

Remember when you were the outcast?
                Different
                     Dangerous?
No of course not
 

You think I am an animal to be despised
                      I am different
Am I dangerous?
                Yes...

               

              Your hate has made me murderous

    My Slip

    I omitted my common guideline, by forgetting 'NO DARK.' I'll go and add that in, but I don't think it would be worth your editing because I don't even want the hints ... so will remove this. ~Daisy

    What I enjoy most about this is the strong feeling it creates with so few words. It fills a lot of space both physically with it's format and emotionally in the reader. Great job.
