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....

Very interesting. I especially liked the part of the unrequited love for the girl. Now I have a better idea what it's like to be autistic.

Thank you.

Greatly written.
I've known what feels like at least a lot of people that have social disabilities, special needs, and autism.
My heart goes out to all and your poem captures the sympathy beautifully.

Interesting. I had a friend who teaches autistic children and for some reason when I think of autism I only think of the very young. You gave me insight into what happens as they get older and how hard it must be for them. I think autistic people are very special and beautiful....it's sad not everyone sees them the same way. How heartbreaking this piece is, a lovely write and a good way to open people's eyes. We should always be kinder than necessary.
