Dehumanized

NOTE: The names of our friends are abbreviated for their privacy.

I think humans like L and B and A and M are all beautiful in their own right. They love things wholeheartedly and laugh full belly laughs and show their appreciation for their friends with thoughtful gifts and try to include the people they care about in the things that they love. They look at their friends and see loved ones. In turn, I see them as family.

I wish I was human. I wish I could see the simple things and be beautiful and not know how cruel this world is. I wish I could live untouched by the darkness. But I was dehumanized by Him.

I am subhuman. Disgusting. That’s all I’ll ever be.
