Dear Normal,

September 14, 2014

Why won't your eyes see?

I'm not going to pretend I know you

you could do the same for me.

You didn't have to judge

yes, I know I'm different

and I'm proud of it.

Do Not ignore me

I don't care if you see or not

just don't pretend you know me

well enough to dismiss me.

You think you're better than me

why?

Because you live within the same 

white walls as everyone else

walking that same line?

Because God made you like "everyone else"?

There is nothing special in being the same

You are nothing special.

You'll forever be the last seen

in a crown

and the forst to be forgotten.

You will feel what everyone else feels

because that's what everyone says

you're supposed to feel.

God made me different

for a reason.

A reason that has to do

with the magnificent purpose

that you will never dream of.

An amazing destiny that is mine! 

You were made like everyone else

to be like everyone else.

I was made to live outside

those normal white walls

in the real world of colors

that change at will.

I can see and feel them 

because I can see.

Don't pretend like you know me.
