The flesh differs between in and out
Outside I am steady as a tree stump
But within I feel assault on the flesh
Out are friends but in they seem foes

The flesh could serve the soul's strength
Or it could be a prison for one to dwell
Without others I feel love and pain
With others I feel love and pain
  
Worry breaks down my inner flesh
My throat congests to heighten breath
The heart pounds without mercy
To no end fear imprisons my mind

For others' regard I cannot see them
A barrier is walled between our minds
The worry haunts me for their betrayal
But in existence they seem loyal

My want is to be certain
But certainty is not my gift
I will always fight to learn so
And try to love without despair
I wrote this work about my learning disability, Asperger's Syndrome.
