This is a poem about how we, as a society, view those who are "different" than most, specifically people with mental illnesses.
Flexible Thinking
The
world creates footprints having us walk as assigned
Whether
the path’s one we’ve chosen becomes poorly defined
What
is considered as different seems confining in space
Judgments
lacking of depth rather made with much haste
The
inner workings of minds don’t tend to follow set planning
Divergent
formation is forever wide-spanning
Understanding’s
required and we all must remember
Isolation
of variation is a greatest offender
Seen
in each person is an aspirational composition
Growth,
respect, wellness build sincere recognition
