Touch

The time has come for you to leave  me alone,  you have picked at me, ridiculed 
me, and put me down.   Now that you have satisfied your primeval need to cause 
pain, give your tongue and my heart a rest.  I cannot help that I don't look like you, 
nor would I want to.  I am my own person, in my own right, to be slow, deformed, 
ugly, handicapped, ordinary and .......feeling.
