A mother’s entry

They want to place him on this “spectrum” tell me what he’s worth and compare him to the majority.

Referred to him as “delayed” then attempted to compliment the abilities that further fueled why they thought he was “different”

-You can’t tell me what my boy is made of, You can’t tell me who he is. I live inside of him, like mother like son. He may be different, but don’t call his differences disabilities.

-He rocks to his own beat and creates ripples in the ocean because he is what they all fear.

-A black boy, soon to be a black man that they do not understand and who they can not control.

-They see him as a threat. A threat to the lies they want us to regard as true.

-That the labels they bestow are there to assist but in fact they are given to divide.
