Outside the norm…
That's who we are.

Shunned and teased,
That's how our childhood is.

Weird, emotionless freaks…
That's the image we present to the world.

Smart, sociable, and beautiful…
This is what we are not.

An unshakable wall we form,
Because we were hurt far too many times…

We never show the true way we are
Because it ostracized us.

This is how we will and always will be
According to society.

However, we are powerful
Beyond your wildest dreams.

We will be recognized and accepted
No matter what.

In the end, we will forge our own destiny,
Because it is simply…

Who we are.
I feel truly moved, so I had to post this poem.  I got a load of comments and new watchers, mostly from people that have never heard of me before, thanks to a friend of mine's journal. 

Yesterday, I was really struggling with my depression. Even today, it still casts a cloud over my head, but I feel like some of the fog has lifted.

This is one of my recent works. It is about a topic that is very important to me. However, it is still a semi-controversial topic, so just make  your own meaning out of this poem.

Enjoy! :)
