Sharing some thoughts…

[kellula]

Just found this forum and wanted to share my thoughts. I don’t usually write poetry but this poured out of me this morning…

Stop biting your nails
he slaps my hand
He doesn’t understand
I can’t process what he’s saying
Unless I’m gnawing at my skin

Stop interrupting, you’re just so rude
but it comes out of my mouth
before I think it through
and if I don’t say it now
It’s lost forever

Could you finish your sentence for once
I’d love to
but a thought flew by
and it caught my eye
and I need you to help me get back on
the train of thought I was riding on

Please don’t poke your head in my car!!!
It’s a failure on wheels,
It’s a mobile, public display
of the things I can’t get round to
and the mess in my brain

Why can’t we have more?
Because I forgot to pay the bills
And now I’m paying charges
So there’s no money left for thrills
I have failed you again, kids

But you’re a doctor and you got straight A’s
so I feel like a fraud
I squeezed 7 years of college
into a dozen night befores
Not a doctor, ssshhhh.

Please accept my apologies for my late reply
I lost a day to dazing
and a month to wondering why
and promising tomorrow
knowing I’ll hide from that too

Please turn the music down, I can’t taste my food
There are days I wish I was deaf
To be able to think
without the singing of the birds
derailing my train

There are so many things in your haunting poem that do us justice. All those trigger words “forgot” apologies” “deaf wish” and I am half way there, a “dozen night befores” “if i dont say it now” “cant process what hes saying”
If only I”lost a day to dazing ” instead of a thousand days

The wonder is, when we live to be my age and you ponder all those things that made the once you cringe, we view it with the fondness that loving oneself especially our fully exposed peccadillos, is the reward.

Neurotypicals have the impossible task to understand how you feel, what you experience. Comorbidities of anxiety and spectrum make it even harder. Poems and drawings are an excellent means to communicate with them.
