Spaces
To live is to endure small spaces
There’s no room to grow in this fishbowl
Full of sharks
When they go belly up, I will turn this pond
Into my own little ocean
There’s no room to grow in this fishbowl
Full of sharks
When they go belly up, I will turn this pond
Into my own little ocean

The Ballad Of No-Man Pam
Let me start by saying
I liked her.
It was as simple as that.
There were billions of people in the world,
and I liked maybe five,
but she was one—
complex and undignified,
farted with meaning in her beat-up car,
as the fog rolled in
and you were never entirely sure
where menthol vape met air biscuit.
We swam once a week together,
poured ourselves into awkward Lycra
and willed each other towards water.
Shy of babysitters, her...
I liked her.

Get Help
I am not a bitch
I am not a mutt
You wear a muzzle
So I’ll shut the fuck up
Stop making me
Jump through more hoops
Gonna chase you down
Like a chicken coop
Snapping at their necks
Walking on eggshells
The embryo’s expensive
Why you gotta upsell?
Done with all these prices
Done with all these stores
Done with all the business
Trying to close all the doors
I knock but you don’t answer
So you send me to your neighbor
Funny, they told me the same thing
But...
I am not a mutt
You wear a muzzle
So I’ll shut the fuck up
Stop making me
Jump through more hoops
Gonna chase you down

Walking on eggshells

Why you gotta upsell?
Done with all these prices
Done with all these stores
Done with all the business
Trying to close all the doors

So you send me to your neighbor
Funny, they told me the same thing

Fml
When the speakers turn up to 10,
It sounds like they’re turned up to 20
The way you talk, the way you get excited about things
Makes me want to kill myself
If I so much as make one judgement,
I may as well have made a death wish
It sounds like they’re turned up to 20
The way you talk, the way you get excited about things
Makes me want to kill myself
If I so much as make one judgement,
I may as well have made a death wish

Aches
A hard day’s work is shown in the hands
A hard day of activity is felt in the muscles
The radio, the tv, and whoever’s talking
Cram themselves into my brain,
going down my spine
My skin is violated by constant tapping
Each one, a jump scare
A flash in the pan
I recover from my wounds
The way a monk finds enlightenment:
In silence and solitude
A hard day of activity is felt in the muscles
The radio, the tv, and whoever’s talking
Cram themselves into my brain,
going down my spine
My skin is violated by constant tapping
Each one, a jump scare
A flash in the pan
I recover from my wounds
The way a monk finds enlightenment:
In silence and solitude

Last Night on Revolution Road
Last night she came home with tears in her eyes
The years she spent coaching him came to an end
The little boy she aided through many challenges
Is growing up and in the future hopes to be a friend
She does the work with kindness in her heart
Giving them the tools so they can succeed in life
These children learn and develop new social skills
So that later on they can have productive lives
For all the days of frustrations there were also triumphs
It was a step forward toward an objective and common goal
Behavioral therapy requires...

Autistic me
Lifes been an echo
Inside a bubble
Full of trouble
And it bursts
Misunderstood
From the cradle to the grave
First steps to the Hurst
And it hurts
Inside a bubble
Full of trouble
And it bursts
Misunderstood
From the cradle to the grave
First steps to the Hurst
And it hurts

Mask
I'm nothing special,
I never have been,
Just deluded,
To think that, they could of seen.
Why don't they like me?
What did I do wrong?
I tried joining in, playing along.
I guess it's just, me.
Little glances,
The louder silence.
Giving out, so many chances.
Why do I feel this way,
They don't give a shit,
About what I say.
Yet here I am waiting,
For fake Nicities.
Turned to self violence.
The masking, the self hatred, I put on a show.
Hoping that they don't, know. But I know...

Ever Changing (effects of autism)
in the vast
realm of the universe
our colours shine
spiritually unique souls
that dance like
fireflies
rare beauty
found within
a chaotic mind
were our lens
captures
a different view
providing
a kaleidoscope
of wonder
forging our sometimes
innocent curiosity
for knowledge

About the not talked about
We don't talk about
the parents who are currently seeking,
sat and just about speaking,
waiting and waiting, unreeling,
the diagnosis they're asking for treating,
the two years before they could see it,
the three or more spent to decree it,
the lack of solution, the bleak disolution,
the millions of boxes to meet it,
the islands of adults unknown,
their youth, elephants in the room,
the decades of reports, of mumbled retorts,
the managing just to be being,
it's something you know - now to know it,
to acknowledge how we've...

Thoughts of August
Looking out the window and staring at my thoughts as the teacher mumbles something about Mitochondria. Why can't I find a desk that does not have gum attached to the bottom of it?
As I try to concentrate on the teacher it hits me like a ton of bricks - we need milk at home. My teacher is now talking about the nucleus of the cell and it is not lost on me that this class feels like a different kind of cell.I think the board of education should introduce my xbox as part of the curriculum. i could probably pass that class with a solid B+.
