Mrs Ashley Somebody
Not trying to impress you, I'm just trying to get by
I've been running out of breath and out of hope and out of time
And if I pass this finish line, I'll just keep moving on
Surprised that I still made it even though it took so long.

'Cause I have failed so many times that sometimes I don't try
I wrap up in my fears and thoughts and curl up tight to hide
But no matter what it is that gets me on my feet again
To go again is all that's left, so I count down from ten.

Ten more breaths until my heart can settle in my chest;
Nine more hours on the clock until I get to rest;
Eight times more that I can tell myself I'm not alone;
Seven more reminders of the way that I have grown;

Six more chances left to give myself the care I need;
Five more minutes off the clock that I can use to breathe;
Four good beats to count inside my steady beating heart;
Three attempts that might not fail that I just need to start;

Two things left to say before I rise up from the depths;
One more time I'll brush myself off and take one more step.

Dull grey starlings come
Parade on gardens not won
Never too soon— gone

Suffer silently

moon reflects the light,
share my sadness with moonlight,
fades away the blue.

Zeus demands some soup
But the Big Dipper's broken
Seems some stars escaped
whispers in the ear
wind passing trees gentle touch
far apart in love

An autistic boy,
In search of his existence,
Fighting life alone...
Autism is a mental disorder. A person suffering with this disorder finds it hard to interact with society or individuals. It's very hard for them to communicate with others...
They repeat theirselves again and again in the state of panic and anxiety... But a study suggests that autistic persons are extraordinary and super intelligent...


This haiku is inspired by a Turkish Drama Series "MUCIZE DOKTOR"... will soon be writing a full length poem on AUTISM...

If you had a dream
in the real world I believe
your love for the word.

Memories are as
delicate as the petals
of a sunflower

The sky's blinding us
Only her eye offers sight
But for now it's shut

Sad
I always feel sad
Sometimes I pretend I don't
So others feel good
