People who are different, live a different way, are usually people misunderstood.
Misunderstood by the uninformed.
The uninformed feel they need to do something.
Anything.
To help the misunderstood see the light.
Whatever the light is.
To change their way.
To live.
Normally.
Like the uninformed do.
Yet, if the uninformed were to take a step.
To become informed.
The misunderstood would no longer be misunderstood, but rather interesting.
In a unique way.
A different way.
A good way.
People should live the way each chooses.
Whatever makes them happy.
As long as it's not harmful to others.
In turn, maybe the world will live in harmony.
Maybe.
