Dedication
For anyone who has ever felt different
And all the while yearned to be the same
For anyone who has encountered gross indifference
And wondered if somehow they were to blame
For anyone who’s been unsure of what to do
And pushed on seemingly without success
If any of these things ring true for you
Congratulations you’re truly one of us…
…a human being
