Shame On Them
Shame on society
For making you feel like an outcast
For making you feel an idiot
When you are one of the most intelligent people I know
Next to the mundane people I encounter daily
Shame on the community that shuts you out
Because you are different
So, your mind works differently
Mine does too
The only difference between us is that I don’t have
An incriminating diagnosis stamped across my record
I hate this society that accepts me but places you
In a corner with a dunce cap
I need you to know
That you can do anything
That you can be anything
Your normal is not the normal of society, does not fit
In the box to which you try to cram yourself
Where you are far too vast to fit
Because society can’t define you
You are perfect the way you are
And shame on anyone that makes you believe otherwise
