I'M No Different

Stuck in this life
Full of people who have disabilities;
For our talents are to strive,
And our future is what matters truly.

Imagine a perspective so different
Where you see everything including the big picture;
Letting people know that you’re resilient,
Getting smarter as the rules gets stricter.

As you continue living on this earth so big
People are more than just people;
Mentally blind until it finally clicks,
And suddenly your mind is as sharp as a needle.

When was the world ever perfect
It would be different if it was;
Without differences we wouldn't see their aspect,
Of a life that began as a huge fuzz.

This is a deeply emotive poem Nick. So intriguing, insightful and thought-provoking. It captivated me from start to finish but especially entrancing was your second stanza, and this line - ' Where you see everything including the big picture' - just awesome! Enjoyed :)
