Some of us, like me, were born with
beautiful minds.
While others, like him, have acquired them
after enduring the toughest times.
Minds so delicate and fragile
that with the slightest touch or word
the whole world can shatter into pieces
or blaze with glory.
Sometimes, there is no explanation
other than that we were born
with our wires crossed just a little bit different.
Other times the explosion is set off
by a trigger, a suggestion,
something so small it wouldn't even
move an ant.
But it moves us.
We feel sometimes so deeply that
it seems to touch our very soul.
Other times the feelings
are like small pieces of hail
bouncing off our concrete insides
and barely leaving a mark.
We were brought here for a reason.
Sometimes to teach
Sometimes to listen
Sometimes to learn
But we're not terrible people.
They can label us whatever they want.
They can give us the pills, and we will take them.
That's not a bad thing but
when you look at us and label us
with negativity and disrespect
you are missing an integral part of the world.
We are not stupid or crazy or creepy.
We are human beings born
with delicately beautiful minds
that sometimes work differently than
the way the world expects.
And that's okay.
