SURPRISE

People look at us as if we’re retarded.

They’re afraid of us, just because we are different.

They don’t even want to try to find out who we are.

We come down to earth not knowing what is ahead of us.

At first we see the world as an adventure.

As time goes by, we learn that we are different.

They don’t know how to deal with us, so they want to lock us up.

How can we show you that we are just like you?

The only thing is, we walk in different shoes.

The only thing we want from you is to open your eyes,

And see us for who we are.

You just might be surprised.
