Le O dans TOC

We, the weirdos

We, left out friends

We, the bullied

We, the closeted LGTB+ youth

We, the kids with messed up families

We, the kids who cut

We, the suicidals

We, the kids with mental disorders

We, the socially awkwards

We, the kids with anxieties

We, the kids who don’t know who to reach out to

We, the kids who need help but don’t know how to ask or where to find it

We, the kids who seek attention but don’t know how to get it

We come together

We help and support each other

We turn to the internet when everyone else has turned their backs on us

We meet people like us who get us

We try to feel closer to our idols who help us even though they don’t know us

They think we’re not living hidden behind our screens

We know we are just trying to survive

They think we’re engaging in useless long distance relationships when we could have plenty at home

We know we have finally found where we belong

They may not understand

But we have found our entitled bite of happiness

They may try to make us more like them

But we can never be

They may try to take it from us

But we will never give up what saves us

“We are here no matter what, even when it seems like the world has given up on you.” -Aïa Sakr
