I'm just like everybody else. I wear the same clothes. I walk the same route. I dance the same dance. I feel the same pain. 

I'm just a little bit different.

I don't hear as well as everyone else. I can't speak proper English everyone else speaks. If you're talking to me, you'll have to repeat it twice. I'm sorry.

I don't like to be compared with everyone else. Please don't do it. I feel less than everyone else. Like I'm not equal. As if I'm just a speck of dust in the middle of nowhere, trying to find my place in the world. Like I'm lost and never being found.All Rights Reserved
