Men and women around the globe Mothers, grandmothers and aunts Fathers, grandfathers and uncles All parents from all over the world I have written this poem to state Simple facts about children That have been dismissed With a wave of a hand Or ignored with a turning of heads Children sometimes need space Don't tell them to socialise All of the time They need a break Just to be on their own They don't need to do things All of the time Sometimes they want to rest Or to simply do nothing Don't go at them about everything Sometimes they can't help it Things can be unpredictable Like hurricanes or death Help them when they need it Not every time They'll never know how to do it All on their own otherwise How do I know this? I am a child I was a child I will always be a child I know that you need space That you need a break That you need to have an escape From the world sometimes

Simple Facts About Children
Men and women around the globe Mothers, grandmothers and aunts Fathers, grandfathers and uncles All parents from all over the world I have written this poem to state Simple facts about children That have been dismissed With a wave of a hand Or ignored with a turning of heads Children sometimes need space Don't tell them to socialise All of the time They need a break Just to be on their own They don't need to do things All of the time Sometimes they want to rest Or to simply do nothing Don't go at them about everything Sometimes they can't help it Things can be unpredictable Like hurricanes or death Help them when they need it Not every time They'll never know how to do it All on their own otherwise How do I know this? I am a child I was a child I will always be a child I know that you need space That you need a break That you need to have an escape From the world sometimes
I feel this is often overlooked As an autistic girl, I struggle with socialising but I don't mind it. BUT I come to a point where I need to have a break and just be on my own un my room to lie on my bed and sleep or just to do nothing. Simple as that.
