Gifted
I don’t feel gifted
I don’t feel wrapped in silver foil and gold leaf
I feel like earth
I feel cloaked in leaves and swallowed in dark
I don’t feel gifted
I don’t feel royal blue or emerald green
I feel like earth
I feel like red earth and browning leaves
I don’t feel gifted
Perhaps gifted was just a way of saying different
I don’t feel wrapped in silver foil and gold leaf
I feel like earth
I feel cloaked in leaves and swallowed in dark
I don’t feel gifted
I don’t feel royal blue or emerald green
I feel like earth
I feel like red earth and browning leaves
I don’t feel gifted
Perhaps gifted was just a way of saying different

Muted
Talking is hard sometimes.
I want to, I really do.
But the words are tied to a string weighed down deep in my stomach by rocks
and one very scary dragon
I want to, I really do.
But the words are tied to a string weighed down deep in my stomach by rocks

Stay Tuned In
no hidden
agenda
behind these eyes
straight
in your face
honesty
please
don't curb
my voice
it always
needs to say
those things
tiny
exploding
tine bomb thoughts
are simply
mine traps
i step on
just making
normal connections
becomes harder
wondering
what barriers will be
smashed this day
stay tuned
for another
horror show
as bloody
words keep
popping out
agenda
behind these eyes
straight
in your face
honesty
please
don't curb
my voice
it always
needs to say
those things
tiny
exploding
tine bomb thoughts
are simply
mine traps
i step on
just making
normal connections
becomes harder
wondering
what barriers will be
smashed this day
stay tuned
for another

Rammed Fist
spirraling
downwards
abyss awaiting
old dark friend
whisper poison
rejoin the conversation
paranoia never far away
persecution stabs deeper
insignificant ant scurry along
we are killers incorporated
ants our specialty
causing mayhem
in your once peaceful mind
feel wires burning
circuit board melting
thought process tangled mess
up all night overthinking
each scenario builds darker walls
imprisoning light
fist rammed down throat
muffling coming screams ...
downwards
abyss awaiting
old dark friend
whisper poison

paranoia never far away
persecution stabs deeper

circuit board melting

up all night overthinking
each scenario builds darker walls

UHO
It’s an X file
An unexplained phenomenon
Unidentified human object
Alien first contact
Proof there is intelligent life
Bring in Alan Turing
Autistic code breaker
To decipher the neurotypical enigma
So many random settings
The simplest message is scrambled

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...

Five Thoughts
Where Light Dies
Frequency of darkness
Tuned in to anger
Vicious vibrations
Reaching out for destruction
This is where light dies
Out Of The Box
The concept of autism
There’s no box
That can hold its diversity
New Town Leper
Don’t come near me
Can’t you hear the bell
I’m autistic don’t touch
I am contagious
The new town leper
Not Dying Today
Not dying today
One more breath
One more heartbeat
One more step
The little things...

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

How Absurd
Oh society
ignorant scum
let's gather round
come mock
us afflicted
few
satirical rocks
thrown at glass boxes
cynical jibes
at the peculiar soul
so misunderstood
autism oh bloody autism
villain of the horde
behold experts
with firm opinions held,
diagnosing with labels
judgments fervently in BOLD
claiming to understand
to comprehend
it knows no end.
this puzzle,
this riddle,
a sin in their eyes
rigid criteria rigid thought
failing...

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...
