Don't Laugh At Me (poem)

Don't laugh at me because I'm myself

Please don't laugh at me. Please don't call me names. If I was blind, deaf, dyslexic or different, we're all the same no matter what. I love to be myself even tho I think like a little kid but maybe I like being that way. Everyone has there different things that we don't wanna tell people, it's part of life. We want to tell people but we might not know how to and might be afraid you might get bullied. Well who cares about them if they bully you cause of it then they aren't your real friend. If you want to keep it to your self then you do that. I'm just giving all of you a suggestion.

hope you guys like it

Hey MJ,
Those of us with sensitive souls "on the outside" feel that little reverberation inside ourselves when we read your writing, as the feelings and thoughts you so accurately and empathetically describe strike chord after chord within us. But here's the thing, and we should never forget it: Some of us cry on the outside, but some of us, on the inside. Someone like you, MJ, can help someone who cries on the inside, not only to be able to express what they are feeling, but to actually know, and put words to, their feelings. Some of us have a much harder time doing that than others, but without the words to describe these things, even to ourselves, it is hard, indeed, to process and to cope with what can be very complex, at times quite negative, and even overwhelming, feelings. Long story short: keep writing! There is definitely without quibbling a place in the world for your voice, your very strong voice. Whenever a lone voice is heard advocating for the rights of others, the listener's heart is stirred. Your words have the power to move a nation, my young friend, so keep it up, keep it up, keep it up!!
