Brother Dearest....MorningGlory

I'm a person,
a human being.
I'm not made of wood,
I actually have feelings.

So short term memory
takes leave of me.
My attetion span
isn't worth to speak.

But does that make me
worth less than you?
You, though intelligent,
of lesser I.Q.?

Does that give you the right
to express your narrow-minded thoughts?
To call me an idiot?
I think not.

Yes, that's right,
I actually have a mind!
But only in concrete,
lacking the abstract kind.

I'm a sister
a friend and mother,
a daughter and even
once a lover.

I may not grasp
the entire picture
but the details
I can certainly relate to.

I'm hard to understand
and shy to show how I feel.
But it doesn't mean
my life is worth less here.

I can speak for myself.
I hold my high.
I don't judge others
for what I 'think' they lack.

We're all here for a reason
and here together,
so why can't we all
just have respect for one another?







It took me all of a minute to write
but it hurts me so my brother's spite.
Nothing worse to be known as none other
than an idiot by one's own brother.
