Among the grass there is a rose Beautiful and intricate He lives in a world of his own Be he will never be picked You see Because he’s different He’s labelled as a freak "Touch him and you get a disease" But they don’t get that He is just a little boy Not some dysfunctional toy That can be sent back To the factory With a stamp saying Broken Reject Spaz People say kids can be cruel I don’t know why they do what they do But by saying this you condone it So they never own it when they’ve made a little boy question "What is wrong with me" When my little brother Looks me in the eyes saying ***** "Why can’t I be normal?" A part of me will die As if normal is something you want to attain If normal is taking the knife from your back And stabbing someone three times harder I'll refrain His differences change The way he sees the world He would never deceive you Incapable of malice He would never be mean to you His differences will change the world Albert Einstein Where do you think he was on the spectrum line Still people don’t see him He loves everyone Still people choose to beat him To tear him down Not all of this has happened now But another part of me will die When he goes to school And I look into his eyes Black and blue Because he didn’t understand that what he did was little strange so, some kid raised their hand and tried and rearrange his beautiful face the thought makes me physical ache a person with autism is not disabled no they are enabled to see the world for what it is my brother I would die if it meant Those big brown eyes Are never made to cry.
Sorry this is a bit off a long poem, but I feel that this issue really needs to be addressed. People with autism suffer in silence and on top of that they are being torn down and bullied for something that makes them beautiful for the way they were born.
