through these eyes

lile for an autistic teenage boy

THROUGH AUTISTIC EYES

through these eyes

no others see

tough there is pain and sorrow

he is left to be

a stranger and an outcast

unable to socialize

he is often felt despised

those arms that long to embrace

now seem to be a waste

others feel him shove them so

but was ment as a jental tap

explodes and grows

counselors have tried there best

though its hard to talk to a mind never at rest

and then his life is broke apart

a lovely girl young and lean

has caught the eye of his distressed heart

this beautiful girl has many friends

he suddenly longs to be like her

to release himself from his life of blur

but as hard as he tries

it all seems to fail

he knows that he can fallow no other trail

he was ment for this path

to conquer trough others wrath

so do not despise

thoughs lonely eyes

they stand alone as a light to us all

so comfort them when they fall

First of all I have to say that I am amazed at your
talent here, taking your age into consideration.
Not only the gift of pen you so obviously possess,
but your insight and empathy... incredible.

You have a very bright future ahead Abby... !

Thank you for sharing the struggles of autism
with your readers, as many of them may not
know or understand it... and knowledge is powerful!

Outstanding work! Indeed....

Each individual is unique, yet, we like to become like others. That's not to be.

This thought is well expressed in this poem.

bravo.

A beautiful idea of taking care for such a person. I think, they just want to be treaten a normal way but from a distance. Nobody knows what they really feel. Thank you for reading /and liking/ my poem Poetry. be well, Gandr�.

I really like the phrase "life of blur". I haven't had a lot of experience with autistic children and young adults, but from what experience I have had, this seems a really good description. It's also a really interesting topic, one that isn't often discussed, especially in poetry.

There are a lot of spelling/wrong word issues with this, though. I suggest some sort of spellcheck, but if you'd like me to proofread this, just send me a message.

wow really good poem it's very deep

only criticism is that there's a couple spelling mistakes but that's all

you described the man's feelings so well

My grandson may be slightly autistic, so this poem touches my heart and my home. He has not been tested yet, and this all new to me. Thank you for sharing. Debileah
