The Impending Doom of Fitting In

By Nick Brown, Ionia High School
​
I see her being ridiculed
for the clothes she's
wearing.
I see him being ridiculed
for the people he
sits with.
I see them being ridiculed
for the music that they
listen to.
Yet, I don't speak
Up.


Then comes my turn.
I'm ridiculed for the
Clothes I wear, the
Way I act, the
Things that are important
To me, and
Who I love.

But I deserve it.
Don't I?
