Grip Is Slipping
This grip is slipping
The emptiness of oblivion
Layer after layer
Reveals nothing worthy
Life is beeping
An alarm that never wakes me
Obedience is lacking
Sticking to the stain on the mattress
Judgement swerving on thin ice
Cracks appear often
Nothing clever about drowning
Head keeps bobbing
It’s how I get through
The identity of a dismantled soul
Endless agony has no off switch
Breathing is becoming banality
The emptiness of oblivion
Layer after layer
Reveals nothing worthy
Life is beeping
An alarm that never wakes me
Obedience is lacking
Sticking to the stain on the mattress
Judgement swerving on thin ice
Cracks appear often
Nothing clever about drowning
Head keeps bobbing
It’s how I get through
The identity of a dismantled soul
Endless agony has no off switch
Breathing is becoming banality

21st Century Spastic
I am 21st century spastic
No window licker
More a window smasher
Don’t believe the hype
No sweet thing here
Caustic through and through
Science put me in a box
The label doesn’t describe accurately
What’s inside
That’s the trouble
Perception breeds contempt
Assumptions mark the signposts ahead
If you look in my eye
I break the stereotype
A little more dangerous
Intelligence and anger
A combustible mix
Don’t dare feed the animal
No window licker
More a window smasher
Don’t believe the hype
No sweet thing here
Caustic through and through
Science put me in a box
The label doesn’t describe accurately
What’s inside
That’s the trouble
Perception breeds contempt
Assumptions mark the signposts ahead
If you look in my eye
I break the stereotype
A little more dangerous
Intelligence and anger
A combustible mix
Don’t dare feed the animal

Under Fog
I count the seconds
Prisoner to irrational fear
Open my eyes
To a looming shadow
That never quite disappears
Is it boredom
That bring the thoughts
To much time
Given to thinking
Maybe the problem
Under fog
In darhkess
Suspicions
Stab at the heart
Eating my soul
The sound I hear
Is not me
But I wound myself
All the same
For the sake of reason
This compounds harmony
Restless agony
Nothing heals
Without pain
I still feel the hurt ...

New Age Leper
Forget me
If i was remembered at all
Did you look
Was i seen
As just a shadow
An inferior being
Hidden, forgotten
Occasionally scrutinised
As if an insect
Or a germ
Label, bag and tag
Keep for posterity
A curiosity at best
My instructions
Are in a different language
Rolling eyes of indignation
The ripple effect
More a hindrance
New age leper
To be avoided
The autism jacket
Several sizes too big
Defective garment
But expected to wear
As proof of...

Still About
Anticipation burning
Scenarios playing
Every permurtation calculated
Trying to fix something
Before it actually happens
The mountain's made
Scaled time and again
Just to step out the door
World full of weird humans
That stare into eye balls
Talk to myself
As if to get answers
Expecting imaginary friends
To hold my hand
Through the trauma
Just a lone twig
Snapped from the branch
Kicked around, thrown
A little weathered ...

My Ugly Soul
The dry spell of emotions
Arid senses
Pleading for moisture
That might release
Parched thoughts
Been a slow descent
Brain scraped constantly
Allowing more pain
To fester inside
What's a little insanity
The leakage
A small drip
Normal thoughts fighting
To jump broken wires
Intermittent sparks
Just a car wreck
Never discovered
Chasis warped
But limping on
Without repair
Cut the mask
Reveal my ugly
Scarred soul
Broken down
Heart ...

a letter to Spectrums and Syndromes
We live in an age where social inclusion means everything
Football, hoodies, your families car, are of the utter most importance
I have had to learn to speak another language where "dope" means something other than it did in my youth and a GOAT isnt a four hooved equivalent of the devil but an actual expression.
He is a frail ivory etherial slender elve
Maths make him nervous though numbers not, The equivalence of decimal numbers is right there inside his questionaires though his teacher is square minded and therefore fales to see his eternal beauty. Seemingly...

Autism Inclusion
Introverts ignored
No entry
Closed doors
Left outside
Underground subculture
Shunned animals
In-depth discrimination
Obstacle saturation
Non entity

JOURNEY THROUGH LIFE
Through trails and tribulations we will go through something's that we will never totally understand, as we may never truly understand as it is lessons that we must learn, for that is the journey of life with lessons to learn. That sometimes changes how we see and live within the depth of our lives. For sometimes we may encounter stumbling blocks, stopping us from going anywhere in our lives whether its forward sometimes just leaving us to go backwards. Yet that shouldn't be the case nor should it matter how you achieve your goals, for ask thyself what is fear for it is only a subconscious...

Our Voice Is A Vacuum
The restless nightmares
On this ship of fools
Sailing aimlessly on the ocean
Of bigotry and ignorance
Don’t want to be here
Faceless culprits
Promoting hatred of difference
To a disgusting degree
Trapped within the label given
Chained to the name
Of the doctor who helped classify us
For nazi extermination
Stand back look past the ribbon
The colourful fluttering distracts
Conform misfits or be cast out
This is the only acceptance
Our voice is a vacuum
Held under...

Danger To Human Shipping
The world looms larger
A noise a texture a taste
Can send us spinning
Disorientation is nothing new
When information not processed
Eye contact is not natural
Get called rude
But isn’t it rude to stare
This confusion hurts
Stop the world let me off
Step by step
Thought by thought
The weirdness
Is only the tip of the iceberg
We are a danger to human shipping
The light is on but nobody home
The world goes dim
As the brain shuts down
Giving time to gain control
To see...

Number Six
Since my diagnosis
Epiphany moment of clarity
All the years
Of struggle
Feelings of not quite being
Had a foundation of meaning
An autism one stop shop
Place of sanctuary
The harbour of choice
When the world
The mind
Gets far too much too handle
Find it hard to connect
Even In a community of writers
Was encouraged to write
To express
Address my thoughts
At number six
The support network
Is the only reason I’m alive
My umbilical cord
That gave a little...
