Rare, but Not Sought For

You're as Beautiful as the day I lost you
As bright as the day your Mama conceived you

you were the needle in the hay stack that no one bothered to look for
the Emerald Jade that took more lives than making them
A type of different that only some are fortunate to encounter
you are that 9th planet that science keeps searching for

& when you came around no one noticed

You had dreams, you had aspirations
you could look at trash and make it a marvellous creation
They saw scraps, you saw sculptures
You ran miles, they gave up turning at the corner

& Yet, you got labelled anything but creative

your pain made you a rare creature
you learned to convert what you knew you could not change
Even the greatest of minds, had their internal dangers
Black and white surrounded by grey matter
spinal cord leading to the right side of the border

& This world, is full of bullshit views and labels

you were the rain in the dessert
the light in places where it dares not shine
they tried to change you, they couldn't handle your brilliance
the fear of change is why society captures the different
why they diagnose and treat what did not need fixing

& no cure is found, because no one is looking

money raised, where is it going
you ran your thoughts till you could not think straight
even your outwards thinking needed convicting
but where are they going, whose thinking those thoughts now

Their gone.
you were rare, you were precious
no one saw the potential in your vision
labeled crazy like the rest of the brilliant
You had an answer, you had a reason
shot down before the prime was noticed

see nothing different is ever sought for
its labeled a problem that needs correction

Say " I am different & I will be known"
Do not ever let them tell you, who you are
Don't let them decide for you, make that move for you

 because only you decide what you make of

....yourself
