A thing called respect

by Jaired Smokeyday - Aries

Sadly you had no words to defend yourself
Among a large group of overgrown kids
I could see where you’re coming from
Trying to be all you can, and live a dream
It was not your fault being born F.A.S
You can't help it when you stutter
And I don't find it funny, when you do...
I understand, I see it all the time back home
Not half of them tried as hard as you
To be something
I salute you
When others laugh, over your disability
When they think lowly of you
And raise an eyebrow when all you want to do is talk too

But at the end
Maybe they understood
Just what your reality is
Because After I told them all to go fuck themselves
You had respect 
And since
Nobody has laughed at you
Only with you

Reason for writing:

    Standing up for someone...
