I took inspo from the song Right, by Morgan St Jean

Stop

Telling

Woman

What

They

Can

And

Can't

Do

This is not ok

You think

Just because

The days I wake up

and fall asleep

and move through the world

tired and clumsy,

it is hard to know the truths

of what I am grateful for.

Those days,

I am grateful not for winter,

They call me different because of the way I look, act, learn

But they say it like it's a bad thing

I am different. I am. But I am not embarrassed by it, I am not ashamed.

I am not a person

Who gets lost easily.

I don't adapt.

I force my environment

To adapt to ME.

My personality

Is not malleable.

I am a rock

Crashing into water.

I sink

And sink

I'm chasing that feeling 
I lost so long ago 
The feeling when the sun would set 
And a smile would appear on my face
