The Autistic Poet

You’re the normal ninety percent, the ones who makes the rules. I’m the other ten percent, a neanderthal that still drools. So I have to follow your method, your roles, your phrases, your gestures. But can you do just one thing for me? When I want to go off-script, just let us!

For National Autism Awareness Day, I have written a poem entitled: The Normal Ninety Percent

Viva forever. YOLO as well. Each phrase feels different, like yours, but swelled. Raise me up, like you do your other girls. See that I am worth it. I just have different curls. Enjoy your life and leave me alone, because I have feelings that you’ll never own. 4/4

Every moment in my life is different from yours. Us and them. You’re rich and I’m poor. Rights and wrongs. I don't understand. Oh look at that retard, a brain like sand. - Dont tell me what we can and can't do. I have my own thoughts. As do you. 3/4

If you don’t like me, then just leave me alone. I’m happy here. Don’t throw me a bone. Give me my space, and you’ll get yours too. Life doesn’t need to be a race. I’m me, and you’re you. 4/4

I’m not like you, that’s clearly true. I’m quite different, you’re white and I’m blue. But we’re both shaped the same, circles and stripes. Why do you avoid me? Do I give you a fright? 3/4

I shouldn't have to change myself, but I obviously do, If I want to live in this world then I need to be more like you. So tell me how to be normal, how to do it right, And I'll just copy you all morning, day, and night.

Please try to understand that I don't mean to offend, And I can't see the part of me that you don't like. It’s not okay that it's bad messages I send, I don't want to give anyone a fright.
