August
I am the kid who everyone stared at,
the one everybody would look away from
because they were too startled
by my face.
I am the kid who had no friends
but now I have friends, family, and a dog
who love me.
I am the kid who will never be normal
because my differences will always set me apart.
When you write my story,
say that I like school and that I’m smart, surprise surprise.

Halloween is the only day to blend in
and hide my deformed face.
