Sensitivity

You toss me aside I feel so all alone
You leave me behind
I’ve got no where to go
How can I Say that I want to move on too
No more words to say I do
Can you just hold me and love me as I am
Can you just wait for me and I’ll show you that I can

If you could just wear my shoes
Then you could see the truth
If you could just hear the cries
That I can only hear inside

But this is not a tragedy
And though this is all I see
Just love this part of me.
I will find the words someday
To be something more than clay
To find comfort in this place

I’ll never understand the pain or understand this craze
Or is your world insane
I know you’ll never let me go, to walk this road alone
I’ll make it to this goal.
They laugh at me and you cry cuz you
Think I wont make it home.
But I’m not alone


If you could just wear my shoes
Then you could see the truth
If you could just laugh with me
And see life simply

I wrote this after talking to my friend Tim (From MCF) about his younger brother who had down syndrome. It was something in passing but it hit something deeper inside of me that made me think if I could ever love someone really close to me, like a child of my own blood who would have down syndrome. Could I ever love him/her with that kind of love , knowing that part of me will never understand or how they can never really express themselves?
