those words
and the way you
say them
make me feel
stupid and useless
and I hate it
I’m not like
everyone
else
so quit trying
to change
me
I will never
fit in
to your cookie
cutter
expectations
so why do you
even try
those words
and the way
you say
them
cut me in two
leaving me bleeding
and restless
I will never be
normal
so quit trying
to make
me
so
.
those words
and the way
in which you
say them
leave me aching
and breaking
down in despair
.
I am not
stupid!
I am not
weak!
I am not
useless!
.
I am
NOT
NORMAL
and I
will
never
be
