Being different

Just because im different, people think it’s fair, to call me all these nasty names , like stupid, dumb or weird. But yet I am still human ,with the same DNA ,I just am one of a kind who learns in different ways.
 I may take longer, to learn things you do, but I can do anything ,I set my mind  too.

 Your words are very negative and  just as hurtful too. Its not fair to be put down and treated  like you do..

I am not stupid, dumb or even weird. I am strong,driven, 1 of a kind,and have been specially placed here.

Your negative comments,  snickers,looks you give, although they  really hurt, have taught me resilience, strength and self belief, in  knowing my self worth.
 
I am no different to you, although I may learn in different ways, so how about you be kind to me and treat me with respect instead of pain
