A Plea for Acceptance: Confronting the Pain of Exclusion and Discrimination
Mr Exclusion and discrimination, I call you by name as shadows press against my veins, drumming pain into every heartbeat. You gnaw at the roots of my soul, chiseling away my sense of self until exhaustion settles deep into my bones. Each day, your presence weaves sorrow through my emotions, sapping my resolve and bruising my abilities, leaving me to navigate a world shaped by your relentless scrutiny. While research suggests that persistent exclusion can fragment one's social identity and disrupt core values, the wounds inflicted by your actions feel far too personal, reaching beyond the academic into the rawness of lived experience. So, I beg you, retreat from the threshold of my being; abandon your pursuit, for your absence is the only reliable cure my battered spirit can imagine.
