Beyond The Stigma
Disability doesn’t come for free
It’s not free from
Ignorance
Bullying
Stress
Lack of self worth
Maybe it’s meant to be
To be a martyr
Pave the way
For those that will follow
So they won’t feel the pain
The right of acceptance is a battle
There’s no emergency here
Just a single spastic
Once stamped on
There will be no more trouble
What remains undercover
Becomes normal behaviour
It’s not free from
Ignorance
Bullying
Stress
Lack of self worth
Maybe it’s meant to be
To be a martyr
Pave the way
For those that will follow
So they won’t feel the pain
The right of acceptance is a battle
There’s no emergency here
Just a single spastic
Once stamped on
There will be no more trouble
What remains undercover
Becomes normal behaviour

Momma’s Love is Enough
A momas love sometimes is enough
Little precious boy he’s my joy
He learns Chinese from grand pa
Around two years old world turns around
He stops talking no vocabulary
Starts grabbing and screaming
Where’s my little Angel
Tell him no and he bangs his head on the wall
Fits of rage and violence
There goes another door damaged
And holes punched out throughout the house
Put him in water and he’s like a dolphin
He’s so good meet special Olympics
Cuts the water with no hesitation ...
Little precious boy he’s my joy
He learns Chinese from grand pa
Around two years old world turns around
He stops talking no vocabulary
Starts grabbing and screaming
Where’s my little Angel
Tell him no and he bangs his head on the wall
Fits of rage and violence
There goes another door damaged
And holes punched out throughout the house
Put him in water and he’s like a dolphin
He’s so good meet special Olympics
Cuts the water with no hesitation ...

The Tyranny Of Indifference
We will stamp on you
Till you comply
Don’t complain
We write the rules
Just roll over and die
We own the workhouses
No breaks for you
Shut up and do
Slaves have no say
Forget fairness
It’s a fascist regime
Wear the patch
Take the beatings
You’re the reason
Everything has gone wrong
You are not human
Don’t deserve thought
It’s our leash
We pull it
You choke to the command
Strain what strain
You are weak
It don’t matter if you snap ...
Till you comply
Don’t complain
We write the rules
Just roll over and die
We own the workhouses
No breaks for you
Shut up and do
Slaves have no say
Forget fairness
It’s a fascist regime
Wear the patch
Take the beatings
You’re the reason
Everything has gone wrong
You are not human
Don’t deserve thought
It’s our leash
We pull it
You choke to the command
Strain what strain
You are weak
It don’t matter if you snap ...

Red and Green
Red and Green
Red and Green within me
Sleep on a purple dream
Green relaxes me and me
Red is demon within me
Float on a puff of green
When I’m Red better watch out
Try to sleep Purple with you
Colors on Spectrum
Who is our audience that pays for it
Im Red and Green within me
You die for my former self
Im Autism within us
Everyone is on the Spectrum
Red and Green within me
Sleep on a purple dream
Green relaxes me and me
Red is demon within me
Float on a puff of green
When I’m Red better watch out
Try to sleep Purple with you
Colors on Spectrum
Who is our audience that pays for it
Im Red and Green within me
You die for my former self
Im Autism within us
Everyone is on the Spectrum

Save Me
I dreamt that you were six years old again
Yet somehow, I knew it was a dream
Subconsciously I was aware of our current time and place
But it didn’t matter
I was going to enjoy this little journey
You took my hand
Led me to the living room with all the toys
I sat with you
I hugged you
Your little face lit
Your bright smile
You spoke to me
I was happy in all the details of your face
Your innocence
I miss you being that little
I miss you all being that small
I held back my tears
Time has...
Yet somehow, I knew it was a dream

I hugged you

Your bright smile

A Day with No Words(Aidan)
A day with no words (Aidan)
Bright piece of sunshine
Lights up my life
Lonely family in the playground
Seems a little bit off
Grunts and stares
Comments and snickers
Go all around
Hand gestures and body language
Communicates what he wants
If he wants to speak
Hand him a tablet
I want French fries comes out
As people whisper and glare
Welcome to the world my family lives
From sunup to sundown
Not a word is spoken
But we’re talking
He looks like...
Bright piece of sunshine
Lights up my life
Lonely family in the playground
Seems a little bit off
Grunts and stares
Comments and snickers
Go all around
Hand gestures and body language
Communicates what he wants
If he wants to speak
Hand him a tablet
I want French fries comes out
As people whisper and glare
Welcome to the world my family lives
From sunup to sundown
Not a word is spoken
But we’re talking
He looks like...

Caustic Authenticity
Can’t pretend to be autistic
I just am
This abnormality is caustic
Don’t you fret
It’s not contagious
Why tolerate
When you can isolate
It’s way better
Inclusion is just a
R I
T N
S G
of letters

Words That Don’t Make Sense
Alone,
She says.
I feel alone,
All the time.
I hear her,
I’m sure of that.
Though I feel like I’m fading,
Fleeting and ungraspable.
Hold me down,
I say.
Do not touch me,
A double negative that doesn’t cancel out.
I want to die,
She says.
Maybe just because she can,
Because she can’t.
I chase her,
She stands still.
Two negatives,
Attracted to the repulsion.
Can I help you.
Like a question,
without the question mark.

Tight Places
Madison
….yeah?
Madison
yeah?
You can’t
i know
Don’t break down
Just keep going
Only 1 more hour
Of keeping it up
Then you can break
I promise
You can get under
Your sink cabinet
And listen to comfort music
You can hide
And cry
okay
….yeah?
