My 100th post :) A Poem for Autism Awareness Day

  • Today is Autism Awareness day, and I thought I would write something for it. Autism is not a problem, it is who I am. I notice I am different sometimes, then other times I think everyone else is just crazy. I think it changes how I look at the world, perhaps how the world looks at me… but deep down I think it just defines me.

    Staring out the window
    Confused and lost in dreams
    Trying to understand
    How did I come to be

    This world just is so confusing
    Always dark and Grey
    Why don’t they paint things pretty?
    How come they do not play?

    I don’t think I belong
    Things seem so out of place
    Those people like loud music
    And those people pierce their face

    Why can’t I understand
    This world that is so strange
    Everything out of order
    So many things out of place

    So staring out the window
    I decided to stay in dreams
    Where things are so simple
    And make sense to me.
