We see mental disorders
as something that is nonsensical
But who’s to say
their reality
is any less real than yours?
Perhaps
the “common” ones of us
such and you and me
are seeing life through a filter
While those with other such abilities
know how stupidly oblivious
we truly are
What frustration
to be trapped be a society
that sees you as lesser
If only
they knew.

This is a really good write! And I agree with you. Even those struggling with depression and anxiety are sometimes put in a category with the lesser. We need better mental health awareness in our country. Thanks for writing this!
Nicole, you are posting one great poem after another! Who are we to decide what is "normal", what is "real", or how a person should be. I do wonder sometimes if the ones we consider wrong, don't have it right!
Thank you all very much
