We Are Autism
We are human
Of sorts
In mutated form
A minority
That is growing
Finding a voice
We exist
Despite attempts
To change our identity
The purpose of inclusion
Is to educate
Not eradicate
So with open minds
Open hands
We bare our souls everyday
It’s a hard thing to do
Explaining how you function
To everyone you meet
Constantly jumping through
Hoops designed
To normalise us
Who are we?
We are part of new sub culture
We...

My Square World
These walls
Surround me
My square world
The door
Is shut tight
To keep them out
Can still hear
The everyday noise
Of life
Time slips away
In the darkness
With my thoughts
Do not disturb
Leave me
To my own devices
Sometimes being antisocial
Is crucial
To my sanity and survival
Surround me
My square world
The door
Is shut tight
To keep them out
Can still hear
The everyday noise
Of life
Time slips away
In the darkness
With my thoughts
Do not disturb
Leave me
To my own devices
Sometimes being antisocial
Is crucial
To my sanity and survival

I Am Sorry For Being Me
I am the stigma
That stirs the pot
The label
That flaps in the breeze
I exist
Only in a scientific paper
Revealing my faults
As if it was a shopping list
Where perfection
Is regarded as beauty
I am the ugly face
That humanity tries to hide
The inkblot that smudges
But won’t be erased
My voice an irritation
That shouldn’t be heard
The message is clear
Stay invisible
The masses hate
The weirdness I radiate
So to save your blushes
The guilt...
That stirs the pot
The label
That flaps in the breeze
I exist
Only in a scientific paper
Revealing my faults
As if it was a shopping list
Where perfection
Is regarded as beauty
I am the ugly face
That humanity tries to hide
The inkblot that smudges
But won’t be erased
My voice an irritation
That shouldn’t be heard
The message is clear
Stay invisible
The masses hate
The weirdness I radiate
So to save your blushes
The guilt...

Those Colorful Puzzle Pieces
I've noticed and been told,
By my mother who truth be told,
Most days,
Feels and acts in the same ways,
But does not have the same processes
To get to the relatively same outcomes, or feelings about things as me (it's hopeless
To try and understand her thought processes),
That I might be on the autism spectrum because of my thought processes.
The way I experience the world with so much more intensity,
Every color, every color scheme, pattern, texture, artwork, art motif, long/unusal/archaic/scientific/magickal word,
Cutting through...

Persistence Of Existence
Stand or fall
Each step a journey
State the intention
It’s the persistence of existence
Ugly skies roll on
Anger filled air
Grabs at the lungs
Silencing sensible words
Reaching for nothing
Is this really failure
Tears seep through
The wall of fear
Footprints fade faster in the light
Running is no quicker
When the destination is a puzzle
Not yet deciphered
Conquering indifference
Is the answer
To every question
About ability
Each step a journey
State the intention
It’s the persistence of existence
Ugly skies roll on
Anger filled air
Grabs at the lungs
Silencing sensible words
Reaching for nothing
Is this really failure
Tears seep through
The wall of fear
Footprints fade faster in the light
Running is no quicker
When the destination is a puzzle
Not yet deciphered
Conquering indifference
Is the answer
To every question
About ability

Incomplete Human
Incomplete
I am incomplete
Driven crazy by the wrong wiring
The diagram not followed
Makes no difference now
Burned out circuit board
Leaving diagnosis irrelevant
Incomplete human
Faults within carry on
Regardless of feeling
The sound of grinding gears
Trying to engage understanding
Intermittent cohesion
Loss of concentration
Brings information overload
Just another degree of distress
Blind frustration
Under abnormal pressures
The friction of cells
So out...
I am incomplete

Against The Grain
Uninvited
Came kicking and screaming
From the very start
I was uninvited
Bled dry of emotions
A devil dog barking hoarse
Kept on a leash to prevent injury
Consumed by ignorant pity
Wired to the indifference of the masses
Taught to do tricks
That kept me in line
Weird draws to much attention,
Following the steps provided
Only brought more confusion
A walking wheel of torture
Going nowhere beyond the chains given
Stripped to the bone
Look the same as every other skeleton ...
Came kicking and screaming

Weird draws to much attention,
Following the steps provided
Only brought more confusion
A walking wheel of torture
Going nowhere beyond the chains given

another sleepless night
Another sleepless night
A went back in time litany of failures
What I wanted to do I never did
My happiest time was when living alone
In the interior of Algarve
I walked with my dogs in the woods had
Learned conversation with an oak
While the dog chased rabbits.
Six happy years what more can a man ask.
Turbulent water ahead I drank too much
The dog died, and my loneliness became a burden
Pressing me into apathy.
Well, life became tolerable again,
but my contentment was never the same.
My old house is standing there...
A went back in time litany of failures
What I wanted to do I never did
My happiest time was when living alone
In the interior of Algarve
I walked with my dogs in the woods had
Learned conversation with an oak
While the dog chased rabbits.
Six happy years what more can a man ask.
Turbulent water ahead I drank too much
The dog died, and my loneliness became a burden
Pressing me into apathy.
Well, life became tolerable again,
but my contentment was never the same.
My old house is standing there...

Final Solution Boomerang
See the label
Use the Instructions
Not to better understand
But how better to destroy
Disability is a scourge
Nothing more than a epidemic
Time to isolate
Use all resources to kill it
Genocide is nothing new
The 21st Century final solution,
Keep it in the dark
Under the guise of support
It’s not hard to believe
History has shown how easily it can be done
All it takes is people to look away
Then let the wrong thrive unchecked
Use the Instructions
Not to better understand
But how better to destroy
Disability is a scourge
Nothing more than a epidemic
Time to isolate
Use all resources to kill it
Genocide is nothing new
The 21st Century final solution,
Keep it in the dark
Under the guise of support
It’s not hard to believe
History has shown how easily it can be done
All it takes is people to look away
Then let the wrong thrive unchecked

Calming To Silence
Outside…
The noise is too much
It burns me
Never…
Seems to stop at all
A tide of unwanted emotions
Inside…
The battle for peace
Rages on
Feels…
So good
To be alone
To feel…
the solitude
Let my brain cool down
Let…
The swell of the emotional tide
Finally calming to silence
The noise is too much
It burns me
Never…
Seems to stop at all
A tide of unwanted emotions
Inside…
The battle for peace
Rages on
Feels…
So good
To be alone
To feel…
the solitude
Let my brain cool down
Let…
The swell of the emotional tide
Finally calming to silence

Inadvertently
Dinner parties were held
Family gathered there well
Parents made the home
The center of social life
From miles they'd come
They would always end up there
The root reason?
Son.
His brother's friends
Came there to jam
Sort of like I Am Sam, or Sam I Am
Air band to no end
Got on like mustard on ham
The root reason?
Brother.
Good parents
And good people
Because of family fellowship
And helping others
With jobs.
But alas, what was the root reason?
Son.
