They line us up in perfect rows and

judge us based on

 

How we answer a few questions about

a few different things and then

 

Sum us up in one small letter.

 

Let me tell you something: I am not an

A or a B or a C;

 

I am a person and most questions, I assure

you, have more than one right answer.

 

'What does the human heart do?'

Apparently 'it breaks' was not correct

But I am human and it seems that

That's all mine ever does.

 

And to the question 'How do people breathe?'

I answered that some people breathe more easily

than others

And personally I forget to breathe sometimes and

Other times it feels more like I'm suffocating

And I'm afraid that one day my lungs will step

altogether

And no one will care.

 

All they gave me was a cross in red pen and

zero marks

Because no one accepts the truths they don't

want to hear.
