Camouflage

Love her

Love him

Remember

Blend in

Don’t hide

They say

But they meant

Stay away

They saw the sun

And shielded me

Singing

“You will never be”

They left it there

An empty phrase

For me to remember

The many ways

I fall up short

Every day

Love her

Love him

Remember

Blend in

How can I

Camouflage

With the differences

I wear on my face?

They tell me who to love

They tell me how I fail

They tell me who I am

They tell me what to wear

So I fall short

In countless ways

Because no one believed

And left me in a haze

They say to love her and

Love him

They remind me to

Blend in

But how can I

Camouflage

With differences

Written on my face?
