One day when I’m better it’s going to be fine. I’ll get to be people then, understanding the meaning of it all, others not to offend. Right now, I’m still quite set apart Your fear has built my home. Courageously and brave of heart I seek a place called ‘own.’ One day when I’m normal I’ll be your kind. I will really be people then acting and thinking like others, just fine and maybe you’ll be my friend. 1/2/18

Brilliant! This is one powerful poem, Janis. The truth behind the words is double-edged ink steel. It pierces the soul. A seminal thought-provoking poem. Filed away in the fave section. Love and peace always, sista soulja
