A Letter To Me by Joan SerratelliI am a competent human being
I can do MOST hings for yourself
if I can't;
I will ask for help
Do not assume because
I look different
there is something
definitely wrong with me
I know that
I would be very stupid
not to know this
I have, most of my life
wanted desperately to fit in
I do fit in
I fit in MY own private world
I have friends
who are fellow suffers
and though I'll probably never
meet these people for "real"
it is a comfort to me
that they exist
I am not alone
there are others
like me
They are my support
system
They live all over
the map
But these people
are there when I need them
I can't say the same thing
about many "real" people
in my life
