Don't forget,
The odd looks they gave you.
Something strange
Just deformed
Unstable emotions
Reasonably indifferent
Something to be pitied.

Don't forget,
The distance they created.
Between things
Around feelings
Above others
At requests
Avoiding getting too close.

Don't forget,
The feelings you experienced.
Being accepted
Feeling valued
Finding purpose
Seeing clearly
As a redeemed orphan.

Don't forget,
Others lost and lonely.
Cut adrift
Rudely rejected
Stumbling blindly
Without hope
They need what you have.
