Some people accept and don't

accept differences.

That's what my father would tell me. 

There's always that one person

which people spot the difference in.

When I tell my father what has

happened to me, he knows

what I was going through.

Maybe I got my grief from him.

He was surrounded by dark

shadows just like me. 

We share the same misery.

However, when I lay there,

on the ground, I can see him

walk over and reach his hand

towards mine.

When I hold his hand, I feel

courage moving down my veins

and boldness going towards

my heart.

And my father, whispering,

"It's going to be alright,

my little girl."
