Autism... Proving youre right brother

SilverXball

Sister

I try so hard

But you don't really understand

The way the world treats me

It has the upper hand

To make me an outcast

To make me unwelcome

To make me unworthy

My good luck is seldom

I have my own ways

You'll never get it, I suppose

How I hate how were changing

Or even buying new clothes

We used to argue about such fickle things

But now that we're here

You ignore me, was I that bad?

Make me understand, can you make this more clear?

I'm sorry I corrected you on... Well.... Everything

Or how I never listened to what was true

I was looking out for myself

Not for anyone, not even you

My little sister

Never treated you with respect

Mocked your life ways

In..... Every aspect

 

Brother

I know you have problems

I completely understand

But the way that you treat me

How our friendship was banned

Made a fool out of me

I completely ignored

I forgave, I forgot

Let you think that you scored

I lived life to the fullest

At least as far as I reached

But I was told on every corner

Our bond was repeatedly breached

Did you think you were always right?

Playing it cool?

All that I think you did

You look like a fool.

You broke the trust between us

Tore down wall upon wall

Pushing me into blame

Life on repeat, just a wind up doll

You honestly think

You've done nothing wrong?

What you've put me through

Could last a million songs

I resort to my solution

I'll just shut you out

Like you and my feelings too

You know I have them? That's not what you shout

I have no heart?

I have no soul?

I have no brain?

I'm as creative as my cereal bowl?

My drawing is terrible

My singing is bad

The sadness on my face....

It makes you glad?

You think this is justice

For what I do too you?

Is it that wrong?

To stand up too you know who?

I get you something every year

On Christmas day

But what do I get?

I get to hear you say...

What's this for?

Where is the thought?

For what this is worth

Something better could be bought!

I spent months on that one little thing...

Looking store after store

Shelf after shelf

Now you want more?

I'll love you, I guess

But this has to end

So I'll block it all out

You once were my friend

I'll make my own happiness

I'll live in my own place

I'll soar off at night

High into space

Where I'm never proved wrong

Or told that they want more

Where I'll make all the people laugh

Every night, more too explore!

But I'll wake up at some time

Seeing your face

And how In my own family

I feel out of place

See what you've done?

You still happy now?

Proud of all the "wins"?

You won the show

And all that it cost

Was the measly price of me

A little bug you stepped on

And didn't even see...

    You kinda lost me with the 'use' of autism,but I like your dialogue,your genuine 'voice'.
    Brought memories of my history with my brother: On Saturday,I was standing next to him on the co driver's dear,while smoking a JOSE L.PIEDRA and he wad picking the music....Never imagined doing this when I was a teenager...People change.

      He has autism.... Ish.... It's not too bad, but he makes my life more difficult than it should be... Probably never gonna be close again..
