By Freya Anastasia Hatfield
I am strong,
I am a little different,
But that doesn’t change who I am.
I have an extra chromosome,
It makes me unique,
It makes me happy,
But it changes me ever so slightly.
Don’t be scared when you see me,
Don’t be rude because it’s not nice,
I’d like it if you said hi
I may not be able to respond,
But hearing your voice is better than being ignored.
I am strong,
I am a little different,
But I give the best hugs,
And always listen.
I am strong,
I am a little different,
I have an extra chromosome,
And that makes me very special.
I like to play,
I like to have fun,
I may get tired quicker,
But that doesn’t change who I am.
I have an extra chromosome,
It makes me very special,
Instead of forty-six,
I have forty-seven,
A little known fact that that extra one makes me very special.
I am happy,
But I can also be sad,
Don’t worry if I seem like I am misbehaving,
I may not have understood a change that was happening,
Or I may have gotten a little scared,
Just talk to me, explain to me
About what’s going on.
You don’t have to walk away when you see me,
I am only a little bit different,
I will be the best friend you’ve had,
And one you won’t want to lose.
I am strong,
I am a little different,
But that doesn’t change who I am.
I have an extra chromosome,
It makes me unique,
It makes me happy,
But it changes me ever so slightly.
Don’t be scared when you see me,
Don’t be rude because it’s not nice,
I’d like it if you said hi
I may not be able to respond,
But hearing your voice is better than being ignored.
I am strong,
I am a little different,
But I give the best hugs,
And always listen.
I am strong,
I am a little different,
I have an extra chromosome,
And that makes me very special.
