A Portrait of the Autist |
I’m awkward, can’t talk to anyone |
I fall at the first hurdle, it hurts to get it wrong |
My mind’s wired a different way to everyone else |
So I might seem strange, and be left on the shelf begging for help |
Placed in a position in which I’m desperate now |
Ashamed of my condition when I’m meant be be proud |
It’d be great to fit in and blend with the crowd |
Without a red face, a sense of dread; |
I’m trembling now |
I like things a certain way, a pre-determined order |
And it disturbs my thoughts if the certain order’s changed |
Uncertainty unnerves me, close the curtains over the windows |
It’s a curse, Asperger Syndrome |
We ought to stick around |
Be autistic and proud |
We ought to stick around |
We ought to stick |
I don’t notice faces in open places |
My focus phases out and goes to blazes |
And an overloaded brain is no way to be social and say hello to mates, is it? |
It’s made me feel alone for ages |
Because I know there’s no hope to change it |
To most a face is an open page -to me it’s closed, the prose erased |
And how am I supposed to behave |
When nobody’s taken a moment to show me the way? |
But it’s OK |
I still hope and pray the status quo can change |
And I still scope the skies waiting for blokes in capes |
And I’ll fly when I know how I’m supposed to behave |
So won’t you take a moment to show me the way |
Autism assisted me in becoming a poet |
Because I feel deeply but I just struggle to show it |
I care for those around me though I don’t know how I’m supposed to tell people |
So I wrote it down, prepared my vocal sound |
Then shared my opus on open ground |
Those with this syndrome are endowed with a determination to succeed |
That the non-Asperger brain often fails to achieve |
And yet we go off the rails easily, but believe me |
I’ve seen what we can be when we’ve got dreams to reach that no-one else can |
And piece by piece the diagnosed’ll find the folks to help them |
To aspire to the heights their sights are focused on |
I know it’s a long fight but we’re the type to go the whole hog |
