Odd normality

We see a quietness, sometimes tempest
An in our own way keep our fingers crossed
Some say a gain some say a loss

A barrier so hard to define
To search your heart for the cause unknown
And smile down that long acceptance road

That some will lead a path not clear to us
 Patience just to face the facts
The vulnerable, a shell upon the back

A mask we want to rip away
Those flaws that crucify our day
No hard love repair that malaise

We brought them here in human form
The wheelchair of that deform
A puzzle, the pieces fitted wrong

A strength but do you have the arms
The fortitude and placid calm
A guilty society a tenuous balance

The complex we try to accept not reject
A jumbled kaleidoscope perspective
An unexplained a normal strange

Where the medicine, where the bandage
To bare humour through each new challenge
That baggage I would gladly carry

That mask some see as disability
A language its message never clear
Autism the coin you flip to breed
