- When I get overwhelmed,
- I will often go somewhere private,
- And break down crying,
- I am Autistic.
- This means that I don’t do it,
- To get others attention.
- I don’t use people but instead,
- Respect them and care about them,
- I am Autistic.
- I will never feed into your self-deception,
- To keep your feelings from getting hurt,
- Because that is not what a True friend does,
- So, I will be Honest with you,
- Even if you don’t like it!
- I am Autistic.
- I write in Truth,
- Because that is the only way that I know how!
- I am Autistic.
- I spend most of my time,
- Thinking about others welfare,
- Because that is my Natural way of thinking!
- I am Autistic.
- I shy away from the rest of society,
- Because I am very True to myself,
- And it is hard to associate,
- With those that are not!
- I am Autistic.
- I don’t allow negative attributes,
- From society to enter my head,
- Because of this my mind remains clean,
- And processes information quicker!
- I am Autistic.
- When I get around to much technology or people,
- I will often try to focus on one thing.
- It is because I am taking in more information,
- Than most can comprehend.
- I don’t want to get overwhelmed again,
- Because I don’t want to have to find a place,
- that is private,
- Where I can cry again!
- I am Autistic.
How about you?
I just read your poem “Overwhelmed”. I cried after reading it because that is me.
