Everyone is different.
We are programmed to believe
That white,
Able-bodied,
Neuro-typical
Is "right."
Those who are different
Forced to assimilate
As best they can
To what is "right."
I am privileged.
White.
Able-bodied.
Seeing the differences
Wasn't easy.
But I'm not "right"
In all areas.
OCD,
Panic
And probably ADHD.
I do things
Differently
Than what is "right."
I write lists,
I count,
*Inhale*
*Exhale*
And meditate when I can.
It looks different
Than what is "right."
But I get through life
Just the same.
I do believe it's hard.
But I'm tough
And strong
And more determined.
I'm not right,
But I willl be alright.
