To The People Who Mock "different"

You judge what you are afraid of

and yet you can’t be judged in return

you mock what you can’t understand

and yet you can’t handle being mocked in return

you look down on us for being different

all while proclaiming that differences make the world go ‘round

do you not see what is happening?

you are so blinded by the normal you see in your own mind

that you can’t possibly fathom the “un-normal”

normal shouldn’t exist in our world

and yet to you, it does

you want to live in a perfect world

in your perfect world

that to you, anything that is different isn’t perfection

you are scared of people that you can’t understand

you judge us based on how we look or act

because you can’t bare to look inside and see

that we are just as human as you are

You hypocrites! You fools!

to us, you are different

but we don’t speak of it

we can’t insult you for how you act

but oh, you don’t mind doing it to us

You’ve closed yourself off from imagining a united world

a world where different is accepted

because that isn’t YOUR world

that isn’t a world that you can touch, see or imagine

try to imagine it and one day

you might see the world as we have seen all of our lives
