Special Differences Poem by shimon weinroth

they say I'm different, mock me, call me weird,
strange and freakish, I think I'm special
they make me lonely and afraid I live and pray
belong to the same species, still I'm different

would replicate, and copy as many of my kind,
I look into the mirror to find, I'm not so different,
in the name of equality and liberty, let me live
to reproduce my differences, undermine status quo

to make you all like me, be fair, be tolerant
aware, when the time comes, you too will be special
