I was born into this world,
Crying, kicking, screaming.
I saw their faces,
I was comforted,
I was a baby too.
My eyes grew more focused,
Seeing, wondering, dreaming.
I saw happy things,
I saw sad things,
I was a child too.
I didn’t know what was happening,
Fighting, clawing, grasping.
I saw them coming for me,
I was terrified.
I was raped too.
My mom looked out the window,
Sighing, yearning, drinking.
I saw her angels,
I saw her demons.
I am a son, too.
I wish you could see the real me,
Suffocating, grasping, begging.
I see your pain,
Please see mine.
Am I not a human too?
