The Autistic One

I live in a translucent room with no door It has floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Like a two-way mirror I can see out But nobody can see in I am trapped! My life is like a hut in the middle of Daedalus finest maze he built for King Minos of Crete. There is no way in And no way out. I have tried to escape But to no avail I'm forever getting lost. My mind Has grown selfish over the years there's no one to think about and no one to care about Just me lost in this labyrinth of my mind for where there is no escape. Like a tortoise I carry my world around with me in my shell.
