Why do you treat me, the way that you do
I also have feelings, I am human too
Why do you look at me, as if I were mad?
I`m just a little different, you really make me sad
Just like everyone else, I too have a name
All that I ask is, you treat me the same
I`m not crazy, so why do you tease
I`m not sick, I don`t have a disease
My mind is just different from others you see
So stop what you thinking, there nothing wrong with me
You could understand me if you just gave it a chance
Instead of judging me just at a glance
I wish you knew just how I felt
About these cards of life, that I have been dealt
All that I ask is that you understand
And for once Stretch out a loving hand
