She Breathes

Thank you I’m never sure how my attempts will be received

Think because of my autism I look at things differently I’m self taught kinda stumbled upon writing now it’s one of my obsessions along with music

I was diagnosed when I was 44 seems I had very good coping mechanisms well till I tried something stupid and in the ensuing counselling sessions it was suggested I might be autistic

I always felt different and distant from people even in the army was thought a little bit out there

I saw everything in black and white wasn’t scared to say the truth my honesty was called brutal

People ask for the truth but when given it usually upsets them it’s gotten me into trouble at work so many times

I’ve never judged other people’s work don’t think I’m qualified to do so

I seem to feel it, like without being egotistical I know when I like what I write but as for pointing out flaws the only reason I do it at work is because I know my job I know what’s expected and if I think they don’t match up anywhere I let people know, I’m not that confident in poetry cause I didn’t do poetry at school I could name famous poets but haven’t read any of their poems I like your poem cause it reminded me of how write and how I feel whe,n I read what I write if that makes any sense at all

You write beautiful poetry. Thank you for sharing it with the world. You are awesome!
