Acceptance

Acceptance
As i watched, a boy tripped and fell, many laughed, few got up to help, i remained emotionless;
A girl, as beautiful as the moon, a girl who had all the boys running behind her, looked at me and smiled, i looked at her expressionless;
as i watched the world move around, with frantic pace, i wondered if i should make the first move or should i wait for the world to become wiser?
how will they react if i walk up and tell them i am not like them? what will they say if they find out i am different?
i have been called by many names; outcast, recluse, amongst many others, i never cared, i never bothered;
A part of me says why should i need their stamp of acceptance? A part of me says why can't they accept me for who i am? While another part remains confused, just like me!

Yes I agree.. Its how people interpret. You written very well. I have a small suggession. The font size of the verse is very low..

I liked the last but one stanza…

Loved your idea. Good wishes!!!
