Neurodivergence

Lorenz

I have forgotten my folly and I think of myself as a poet...

-------------------------------------------------

I 'm a classic style 

But I make it a bit eccentric.

A circuit that's gone rogue .

I didn't choose to be a neuro-wanderer 

due to a synesthetic  artistic gift 

trapped in a blog ...

I post poems in the form of a morning jihad,

a duty without blessing  on life's weariness...

  Inspired nutcase ! 

  Mantra to exorcise marble .

I think in gibberish that no one understands .

My life made in melodreams .

an old piano tells me incredible stories

which I pretend to believe ...

 I also love that faithful out-of tune -violin 

that was part of every melancholic scores 

and the eternal feedback, too ...

I've always gotten lost on familiar paths ,

where I was waiting for a missed dating ...

 So ,I robbed the social bank that did not give 

my genius any credit ...

  Born to be out with the metric of the system .

I learned to glide on atmospheric fantasy...

And to say politely '' Hello good bye ! ''

To the lady object of my desire...

 Some idiots think that happiness 

is being alone together .

To be both victim and persecutor...

I don't bother attending the christening 

of still born loves ...

I didn't choose to be  a neuro- drifter .

Thing of an ambivalent abstraction ,

no one escape the sign of the zodiac .

 I don't laugh at harlequin's antics .

My place reserved in the human comedy .

Without really knowing wether  Iam 

an actor or a spectator ?

  Maybe a gladiator ...

I turn away from Punch puppet's compulsions .

Wild intellect running along the ceiling 

like an acrobat on a spider's threat ...

  I didn't choose to be a neurodivergent...

    We are all divergent from the mean with a small standard deviation, the standard error is at p is less than point zero zero one. Significance is established statistics don't lie but liars use statistics

      The worst thing is to end up a poet without realizing it !

        They call that a c section

          I trust the specialist !

          Lorenz, this resonated with me. Many creative people eventually discover they spend part of their lives feeling slightly out of step with the systems around them. The challenge then becomes learning not merely to tolerate that difference, but to create from it. This poem brought that thought to mind immediately. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

            I remember a time where gifted children were seen as mentally disabled. So I acted like a prat !

            This is a complex, painful, yet incredibly beautiful lens, translating the static of a broken circuit into pure poetry.

              To fix the circuit is condemn oneself to banality ...
