being different
is something
to be respected
to be channeled
embracing thinking
angularly
rather than shunning
what is not
understood
it can take shape
as a myriad
of mental maladies
excused by chemical
imbalances
brought on by trauma
regulated
medicated
encouraged to try and just
be normal
but maybe
through a different
medium
the miswired
are capable of
creating a lens
for the world
to witness
a new
point of view
don’t mind me
i am just
a goddamned fool
with more than
my share
of screws loose
screaming
in lowercase
exhausted
yet unable to rest
