| Higher Expectations |
How are the blind expected to see when darkness is all they know? How are the deaf expected to hear when they've never heard the music flow? How are the mute expected to speak when they cannot make a sound? How are the vets expected to walk with limbs that were never found? It amazes me how easy it is for the obvious to be seen so clear but what is not seen, so quickly judged for they cannot see the fear. How can you expect one who's ADD to focus at the drop of a hat? How can you expect someone with OCD to act "normal" just like that? How are those depressed to smile when that's what others do? How can you expect someone with anxiety disorders to "calm down" just because you tell them to? It's a mystery how the world can be so blind deaf and dumb. To be quick to judge everybody else without taking a look at themselves. The prejudice I see today is far beyond the black and white. What I'm wondering now as I sit here tonight: How can you expect a better place in a world that's so-called "his"? If you are one to judge then take a good look and tell me just what "normal" is. |
