A sad poem that conveys the frustration of not being accepted or measuring up to expectations.

Told to be more understanding 
by a world completely unable
his mere existence 
a mistake
softness grown into clenched fists
curiosity metamorphosed into distance
kindness’ roots ripped out…
It shouldn’t be that way, but it is.
