You are amazing. You are more than the pain More than the loneliness More than the desperation. You are more than their looks More than their stares More than Autism, Mitochondria Disease, More than the seizures. You are you Which is enough.
This poem is dedicated to my sweet, sweet little brother. I was just thinking about him just now and these are the things I wish I could convey to him to make him understand how important and powerful he is. For everyone who lives with someone who has a mental or social disability, anything that hinders them from living the life they want. They are loved and wanted.
