To the neverending cycle of pain and unhappiness that we, aliens to the world, must endure every
waking day to our so-called pitiful lives.
To the frustration we feel when our meanings are never brought forth to the light and are never
evident to the rest of the world.
To the hours we spend, fighting and striving to make others accept our beliefs and values.
To the friends we don't have because of our ability to stand by our 'ways'.
To the love we don't feel. Who can feel anything but numbness when you live as we do?
To our courageous hearts for sticking with our values despite the pain.
We are people of great imagination, creativity, and strong hearts, yet we are feared and avoided.
Why? We are just like you, only with different beliefs. Why do you treat us this way when it is us
who makes this world beautiful? When we look at paintings, houses, sculptures, drawings, plays,
when we listen to music, stories, or poems, we all seem to forget who brings all of that
wonderment to our world. It is the artist who should be credited. Give us the credit we deserve.
Please, accept us as we are and don't try to change us. We are the artists. Let us be.
Dedicated to Cari G.
You are not alone in this world
I am here and there are many others
We just have to find them
Luv-ya
