A small world

by

Sherene Delgado

You couldn’t understand us,
We couldn’t show you who we were
Life was to short for us to stop and explain
You were not willing to go at our pace
We were not willing to justify why we exist to you
We had no reason to
The shouts,
The screams,
The silence.
The understanding of what happens when there is difference in the world
The understanding of permanent change
Nothing is the same
Nothing is as it was
Time can not go back
Only forward
But for a second,
Time stopped
At least for me
Why couldn't
They understand us
What was wrong with us that they felt we deserved this?
We were different
So were they.
But is that so wrong.
Is a little difference in the world worth the pain you caused?
Or were you scared of the change it would cause?
