this deserves a toast

this deserves a toast

do something
for once surpassing expectations
and crossing the boundary
that defines a right to a privilege
because (you should know)
it's a privilege
find something i like
even if you might not
and play on that
cross that line that defines
your comfort zone
you should definitely think
that having a breakdown
no a break through
would have painted a clearer picture
of what being boring means
ideally you should have thought
before you spoke
instead you defined what being
gay being a woman being of a
different race creed or color was like
one day and once again
you have defined what being typical means
and you have placed me in that category
unfortunately
i don't fit
my feet are too small
and i gave a hand to someone
that you thought lesser than i
the same person that i live in a world
as you do as well
and simple polaroid pictures
showed that that person had a face and a smile
just like someone i used to know
it was a privilege not a right
to hug that friend before
he she and i all passed away
(as have you)
because we were ignorant to what
was asked of us
you know what deserves a toast
the one person or people that sat
when you decided to stand
