Acceptance and love
That's what I feel
These people around me
It doesn't feel real

I feel safe and happy
Everyone is so kind
I love this class and the energy
For once, it's peace of mind

This feels like a place I could live
A place I could be myself
A place where I could meet others
That don't put themselves on a shelf

This feels like a place
with the three things they mentioned
Inclusion, Exclusion, Accessibility
But most of all
It feels like
Acceptance

With pens scratching on paper
And short clips of everyday things
Acting feels like a lifestyle here
Not something I dread doing

This place feels like a warm blanket
A place I could be my own
I don't think I need to see more colleges
Because this one feels like home
