I'd like to make a toast

Here's to the people

who don't tease the girl

whose forehead is slightly bigger

whose teeth rest silently on her lip

preventing anything from being said

in her defense

as she buries her slightly upturned nose into her favourite book

seemingly to get away from the reality

of the insensitivity of some

 

Here's to the people

who wonder what others thoughts are

when there are spaces that grow between their sentences

when they can't express what they want to say

because their thoughts are far too complex

for the narrow mind to understand

 

Here's to the people

who see through the ambiguity

and the perceived eccentricity

and create art with their minds
