A Special Child
I appear different and strange
often invoking pity, witnessed through your eyes,
My intelligence and awareness always a doubt,
All you can do, is act out and shout,
Your anger amuses me, for mine is far greater,
Expressing myself is an uphill task, in your mind it sets me further,
I do not add clarity or provide intellectual conversations,
Neither do i offer rewards, giving you a happy sensation,
Isolation it appears, seems like my only salvation,
There is one gift, above all that i can offer,
The ability to fathom the depths of your love and commitment,
For i desire like any other child , to stand tall and lead,
Even though the world may pass me by, all i want is a chance to be free,
God has gifted me with a higher purpose,
To teach you the worth of a loved ones embrace,
Even in face of calamity , to find solace,
I impart on you the wisdom to look beyond your own wants and desires,
Accomplishing the simplest tasks, for me brings infinite joy,
For i am special, god's special child.
