Poetry for people who could use a little kindness

Different

I used to think
there was something wrong with me
I couldn't connect, couldn't understand
What are they talking about?

If I ask, they laugh
and shake their heads
“If you don't get it now
You'll never understand”

They're wrong, because I understand
I'm different than they are
There's nothing wrong with me
I'm just different
