Poetry by Porter, age 17
In this wretched world
I try to dance
I try to love what seems unlovable
For if I do not have hope in my soul
For if I do not have love in my heart
What else is there?
I wish I could love you
I wish I could see what everyone else
Seems to see
Everyone keeps telling me to
"Just love them and accept it"
But it's so hard
To look in the mirror
And suddenly love what you've hated
All your life
As I look into the night sky
I think about
All the ways I've been wronged
All the ways I've been hurt
But I know things will get better
I tilt my head back
And think
"I'm okay with that"
