Who I Am Dedicated To Autistic People

I Am Who I Am
And I’m Proud of it too
To those who haven’t met me,
It’s so nice to meet you.

I have Autism;
Something that is always with me
In my personality and body,
Something that doctors can agree.

My five senses are increased,
I hear, see, taste and smell things differently.
Even my mind is ‘off course’ 
Captured by everything around me instantly.

I can be energetic,
I can be easily excited.
Also, sometimes even the smallest things,
Would make me frightened.

I love my parents,
They tell me I’m a gem.
For they are proud just like me,
For who I am.

Forbidden Love

Hidden from Society Hidden from Public Avoiding a Notoriety My feelings now lovesick Never forgotten this Romance Forever lasting in my head Wrapped in this love-filled dance This hunger must be fed Moments will be missed And you will be too Every touch, Every kiss Aching to be with you For you to be with me My heart tattooed with Love's ink Visible on my cheeks, Blossomed cherry red and pink Love and Lust; I cannot get enough Longing for this act of Forbidden Love

Reflection

I walked across the room And stood in front of you, If only in my mind You already knew. That you’re my mirror; My better and other half, Everything I love about you That smile and that laugh. Somehow we are connected: Heart, Body, Mind, and Soul, Maybe it’s meant to be A story once foretold. This will forever last Never separated apart, For you are my other half; A Reflection of my Heart.

Crossroads

Lost...Confused...Undecided, Should I continue...or should I change direction. Their views on this; my trusted friends have shown. Lost in the emptiness of my mind. Drowning in the water of confusion Undecided...on who should I be with, Can not focus.. For it's shrouded by these thoughts. Wanting to be with one when I'm with the other, Wanting to be on that side...when I'm on this side. To think differently of my Future.. To worry if I can change my Present.. And leave everything in the Past.. I need to make my decision I need to make it now, but I'm still.. Stuck at these crossroads. Lost...Confused...Undecided.

Shattered

Heartbroken; not even a dim flame of delight.

A Window; my heart translucent, reflecting and fragile.

Breaking; veins of crevasses and etches within the glass.

Delicate; one nudge, one move, one gentle touch.

Shattered; exploding into various pieces, ruined.

Despair; falling into depression, darkness swallowing what was left.

Injured; cuts, wounds, and bruises...attempting to repair the fallen pieces.

Friends; unable to mend the broken glass.

Family; my own flesh and blood, unable to replace the shattered heart

Crush; attempting to fix with his own hands, yet unable to replace the irreplaceable

Flirt; taking interest, but unable to solve this very flawed puzzle

Love; never been fixable, but where it used to be, is where his heart now lies.
