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...

embrace our puzzle
unique pieces fit as one
breaking the label

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?
Madison

You can’t

In Exile
I know things got off on the wrong foot right from the start
At the time when I was young I just fell apart
Even after all the years of me trying to do what was right
Lately it just feels like your silence is out of spite
With every visit I loved our conversations and laughs
The quality time was more precious and unforgettable
And as you got older you became stronger and bolder
So I wrote you verses to make our relationship memorable
But something strange happened within the last few years
You’re so distant and quiet and won’t talk to...
At the time when I was young I just fell apart
Even after all the years of me trying to do what was right

So I wrote you verses to make our relationship memorable
But something strange happened within the last few years
You’re so distant and quiet and won’t talk to...

Restless
Unending static
The sound of a restless mind
Shuffling in its bed
Blankets kicked to the floor
It wails and screams
Scratching deep red lines into its legs
All its wants is to sleep
To embrace a comforting darkness
Hitting its head against the wall
Begging for unconsciousness
To drown its own voice
To forget its cries
A worried little creature with absolutely nothing to worry about
Unending static
The sound of a restless child
The sound of a restless mind
Shuffling in its bed
Blankets kicked to the floor
It wails and screams
Scratching deep red lines into its legs
All its wants is to sleep
To embrace a comforting darkness
Hitting its head against the wall
Begging for unconsciousness
To drown its own voice
To forget its cries
A worried little creature with absolutely nothing to worry about
Unending static
The sound of a restless child

Void Of Solitude
no solace
from these
thoughts
where obvious traps
have been
sprung
where oblivion
seems only
a fingertip away
feelings
drain
to nothing
less
aware
of rxistence
walking
over
shallow graves
striking
how dark
becomes darker
when
you fight
alone
from these
thoughts
where obvious traps
have been
sprung
where oblivion
seems only
a fingertip away
feelings
drain
to nothing
less
aware
of rxistence
walking
over
shallow graves
striking
how dark
becomes darker
when
you fight
alone

Tainted Serenity
a little
distorted
frequency
is
what
i am
an interrupting
raindrop
on a sunny day
spoiling
the
vibe
that burning
indigestion
at night
that
wakes you
from sleep
a rotting branch
laying among
the flowers
tainting
the
veiw
distorted
frequency
is
what
