Eyes

I do not mind your judging eyes

I do not mind your hatred.

I do not mind what lies beneath your mask

I do not mind your loathing.

Tell me that you hate me

Tell me you wish I was dead.

Tell me all Jews are not worth saving

Tell me all gays have no right to live.

I do not care for your judging eyes

I do not care for your opinion.

I do not care for your lack of humanity

I do not care for you.

I will grow stronger

I will fight back.

I will be a real human.

I will be better than you.

I am proud

I am sacred.

I am sorry though.

I am because you are too.
