I have been a hostage
all of my life

I have lived in an open
prison

I have been captured
by its beauty

I have been in a world
of my own

I have been lost and
found

I have been ridiculed
and scorned

I have been unable
to express

I have been alone
and lonely

I have been trying to
understand

I have been constantly
confused

I have been autistically
artistic

I have been a dyslexsick
jenius.
