'I want to be special,' so you used to say. Then I saw you st | Draft Piles
"I want to be special," so you used to say.
Then I saw you struggling, with your gift, and you learned the price of being "special" and "distinguished"—the price of being "different".
And I remember, how that wish turned into a question: "Why can't I just be normal?"
Now that I see you again, my little one, I come to understand...
Thus I welcome you with open arms, offer you the best smile I could muster through the tears:
"You just wanted to be seen, didn't you?"
Now I see it.
