Poem; Difference. – Reblog

a poem that I just have to share by our friend Lawrence, who blogs about his struggles with bipolar disorder with honesty and eloquence.

Being bipolar.

Difference scares

Facing a different person

Is facing the unknown

The unknown scares

The public wants “different”

But they cannot handle it

They cannot understand it

They want an outside the box view

Yet they live inside

Where they are comfortable.

For us, it’s a bit reversed

We don’t know or don’t want to know

What is inside the box

As we are living and operating outside of it.

Until we find a level playing field

We will never be accepted

We are different

We scare.

Peace and serenity
