Autism Is My Life's Veil
Some proclaim this veil can be a blessing or a curse
For me it is both and neither
It is not heaven’s blessing nor an archon’s curse
It is nature’s and fate’s gamble
Like being a sole stranger in a foreign land
Though I lived here since my first breath
Not grasping the values and customs of the land
Born into a world foreign to me
A veil that still hides the outside world from my sight
A veil that obscures romantic love
Though I long for that warmth of another’s embrace
Though my face is veiled like a bride
Though I have much the same face as everyone else
My face is obscured from the world
Since I could hardly see the world with all its light
I explored in myself and saw the underworld
It guided me towards the heavenly world: The faith of gnosis
The faith that accepts all strangers and all the rejected of this world
For this alone my gratitude outweighs the world’s shining treasures
A faith that finally brings sight to this domain of Yaldabaoth
My veil gave me ears to hear and eyes to see
To see what most don’t care to look
To contemplate and craft works unique in this place
To serve light obscured for others
I have no eyes to see what my future with this blessed veil will bring
All I know is that there will be wheels of bright bliss and blindness
All I know is that I will wear my veil till duality ends
All I know is that Christ and his heavenly domain will guide me
