Here I am....

Post Reply New Topic

For some reason today I've been feeling real depressed, I've never been the best at poetry and verse, but as I typed this message, things started to flow so I went with it, I know it's not the best, but I think it speaks for itself.


Here I am, someone with Aspergers syndrome

Here I am, someone who is autistic
Someone who can't hold up a conversation
Someone who has sensory problems

Here I am, someone who can't make out a conversation in a crowd
someone who get's overloaded real easily
someone who zones out to escape

Here I am, someone who walks stiff-armed
someone who is forever stumbling over his own feet
someone who could never play sports

Here I am, someone who has lousy emotional reciprocity
someone who dosen't know how to make someone else feel better
someone who can't bring a smile to another persons face,

Here I am, someone who's afraid of conversation
someone who is afraid of the fear that I'll say something wrong
like so many times before

Here I am, someone who dosen't feel love
someone who can't handle being loved
someone who is only plutonic

Here I am, someone alone in this world
someone who never belonged
someone who tries and fails

Here I am, someone who dosen't give up
becasue someday the world will value me
value me for what i've done

Here I am, someone with aspergers syndrome

Scoots, that was very heartfelt.

"Here I am, someone alone in this world
someone who never belonged
someone who tries and fails

Here I am, someone who dosen't give up
becasue someday the world will value me
value me for what i've done"

You fit in and belong here and we do value you.
Hope you get over your bout of depression.
Thanks for posting your poem.

your poem is lovely, scoots, even if it made me feel sad. keep writing.

I'm feeling better today.

Thanks for your kind words

"Plutonic"? It's funny how things like verse intrude when you're down (I've been going through all sorts of mood swings for the last month or two; remnants of a long stinky summer combined with a recent upsurge of Fatigue Syndrome {worst than it's been for years} I expect). The ditty that's been running almost ceaslessly through what's been passing as my "mind" in recent weeks is a putative duet between Bush's neoconservatives, and the radical wing of the Saudi Royal family:

[the neos]
"Nothing could be finer,

than to annex Asia Minor,

in the...Moooorning!"

[the Sauds]

"Nothing could be sweeter,

than to finance Al Qaeda,

in the...Moooorning!"

[sorry, can't remeber what that tune's called; anyone for a chorus?]

nice

Wow, that is one hell of a necrobump.
