Misunderstood
The little boy who was slow
Couldn't keep with the flow
Mistreated by most peers
Scared of people who's near
The naughty boy in the class
What's wrong? Noone asked!
Fustration leads to temper loss
Fights are won and many lost
Bully gangs loved to tease
Nobody helps at any degree
Confusion at the upmost extreme
Things just aren't what they seem
Anxiety is not always the answer
Depression is diagnosed faster
People don't look deeper inside
What's this DNA trying to hide
A chromozome not complete
Where X and Y should meet
A diagnosis from the spectrum
Detected in old and in young
To all the teachers and police
The bullies out on the streets
The bouncers in the clubs
You shouldn't be so quick to judge
Shame on all of you
For making this boy so blue
For not seeing he needed help
And only thinking of yourselves
The truth that packs a sting
The boy who asked for nothing
Is now at peace with himself
And puts you all on the shelf
