AUTISTIC
You want me to figure you out...
Well, I ask you, did you yourself?
Have you figured out YOU?
I am still young, I know, and I can
Analyze inanimate objects
Write blogposts, essays and poems
Occupy myself endlessly with a
twirling thing catching sunlight.
But figuring someone out is not
one of my strong characteristics.
I am an autist.
We are notoriously bad at that!
Let me tell you one thing though:
This question of yours?
My psychiatrist would probably say
that:
a) you like people to look into your soul or
b) you're incredibly unaware of yourself or
c) you seek confirmation on a hunch.
But then again, as I already said,
I am an autist.
I am notoriously bad figuring someone out.
I am a very lovable autist though!
Peace out.
