Why is it so hard?
Why can't I get this right?
I don't want to be treated differently.
Why do I even try?
I try to talk, but no one gives me a chance.
I try to be nice, but just one wrong glance
Are my abilities worth enough to compensate for my shortcomings?
I can develop a new language or an alphabet in an hour or two but I can hardly make a phone call without having a breakdown.
With Aspergers, it's a bit tough.
There's problems that make you think you've had enough.
From the loud noise to lighting so bright,
When you can't handle it all, you are forced to fight.
Silence
It surrounds me
Someone talking in the other room
Someone is laughing
But the silence is around me
Crushing me.
I can’t breathe.
I wait a moment, I blink
She’s twelve
