Misunderstood

Ajax (he/xe)



 I feel misunderstood

Is my foot tapping on the floor really that disruptive?

I can't control it

Why do you blame me 

When in reality

My mind is the one to blame

I reach out for help

Pills

Fidget toys

Nothing works

You don't understand

Teacher, may I draw whilst listening to you read?

"no"

I'm sorry

I'm sorry I was born this way

I wish I wasn't

But that's not up to me

    indeed: no, its not
    but what you make of yourself and the life ahead of you?
    that's: All, up to you!
    so if you have - to, anyway
    why not work at it, a little
    and make it something, you'll be proud of - or not..
    but all the same, try and enjoy the ride!
    thanks for sharing,
    you've really tapped into that youthful poetic voice
