I live my life on an island,
and my world is small.
I stand for hours on my shore,
waiting for the plates of the earth
to shift beneath me;
to carry me across the oceans
to continents that I will never reach
on my own.

I want to take apart my skin
when the sun is too bright
and the world is too full
of people who will never know me.

I want to open the rivers
inside my wrists and empty them;
to pour myself away
the way I pour whisky
into my empty stomach,
and my hypothermic limbs
into stranger's beds.

As I swirl
My boadings
I thinking
Of flushing your
Hate down the toilet

Please please
Flush the toilet
For hate only breeds hate.
Like disease.

Sticks and stones will break
My bones
But the names you called
Me hurt.  

Sticks and stones will break
My bones
But the pranks you
Pulled where traumatic

Sticks and stones
Will break my bones
But the cat fights
have scarred me.

To my fellow
Asper people
You are great
You are creative
You are straight forward
You are intelligent
Not toxic
Nor biohazardous
Or evil.

In a crack
In the side walk
A few poppies
Grow out the crack
And sway in the summer
Breeze.

You have broken my body
My spirit
The manner of death: homicide
But
You forgot
About my fangs.

Ahhh
The human finger print
Should be printed in
Rainbow ink
For we are all
Fingerprints
With feet.

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.
