Almost Normal

This broken spectrum. 

Favors the normals. 

Those that speak. 

But are still ignored. 

And I feel guilt. 

For trying to leave the spectrum. 

That I thought was not serving hope.

The only purpose being…

To send me underground. 

In this place where all of us beautiful flowers. 

Are too embarrassed to bloom.
