Minority

Teach me how to feel, minority but larger than us all,
Not a dime in your pocket, but a heart so full,
I’m rich with a lack of morals, I’m blind by choice,
Born into this world, tuned out my own voice,
I’m cold and dead, infinity is so alone,
My inside out alter-universe is your forever home,
Your heart was broken with reject, filled with acceptance,
Mine isn’t even flexible enough, too tough to be bent,
I am flawless imperfection, smiling in my own life,
But all there is around me is air, forbidden night,
I wrench my body off the edge, not because I feel too much,
Because I can’t feel at all, caught up in the rush,
And we’ve both fallen, you just got there sooner,
You hit harder, but I’m still the loser.
