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."
