Don't Hate Me

by Mask By The Moon

Don’t hate me
Because I don’t look the other way when you torture and threaten
Me
My Friends
My family.

Don’t hate me
Because I care
Where my life is going
And I don’t give a line in a Dr. Seuss book
Where you think it should go.

Don’t hate me
Because I want
A good carreer
And if being a “nerd” is necessary for that
Then so be it.

Don’t hate me
Because I think what everyone else thinks
But what makes me different
Is that I’m not afraid of your “friends”
To say it.
