Unique, Yet So Special

by Ruchy Sklarz

Some of you may stare
Others think we're queer
The compassionate shed a tear
To them, we're really dear.
Many don't care
The problems isn't their's
We're too much to bear.
...But we are here...
And yes, we're special.
Special and unique in every given way
Like a bittersweet fusion.
We cannot articulate
We may create illusions.
If you were to devote yourself
To see us for what we are
You will find depth beyound the surface
And that is just the start !
We tend to be burdensome
Totally helpless too
And in cases like these
Rely only on you.
But slowly we reveal
Our character's sweeter part
You might just come to love us
And understand us; heart to heart.
Let not your heart be sore
For we are a happy breed
And our's is a soul so pure
Which makes us special indeed !!
