Humans are Humans.


What are you, Autistic? 


You’re a SpEd.


God you’re so retarded


What it has come to

Words that role off the tongue so easily

My heart hurts for the people who don't think twice


The cruelness that people laugh at, 

Is it really that funny?

Making fun of someone because they're different. 


Fingers pointed while jokes being made 

Fulfilling the attention of those who crave it

Knowing nothing about who they are as a person


The loving girl who has an extra chromosome or

The never-ending happiness that beams from a boy 

Born with a disorder affecting communication and interactment. 


Doing everything open minded 

With a smile and no complaints

Blessing the world with the joyousness that is presented.


They have done nothing to you 

Yet, the words still seem to escape your mouth.

Hurting those who share the most love. 


Humans are human. 


The author's comments:

I am such a big part in the unified program at my school but I am also a huge part in activities with the school itself. I hear name callings and certain things said about kids with special needs that is hurtful. I wrote this poem hoping that people will think more about what they say, before saying it.
