Poetry thread

Lotus

I quite like writing poetry and so I thought I'd start a thread - please post your poems here. The first one I want to share is one I posted on another thread recently, about autistic people being typecast.

It's called "I don't wanna be typecast"

I don't wanna be typecast, I'm not a Tinpot

Unimportant, inferior or worthless, I'm not.

I'm not a savant, no genius IQ

But I'm not stupid, I can learn stuff too.

Don't think there is no emotion there

I have empathy, consideration and care

I don't wanna be typecast, no matter what we do

We're all individuals, I'm me and you're you

  • Something I've been working on for a little while now 


    When the world screams in anger, and the streets are set aflame,
    Let’s find a way to heal the wounds, not add to all the pain.
    Voices raised in protest, but where’s the love we’ve lost?
    In the echo of destruction, we forget what it all costs.


    We can break the chains of anger and let compassion lead the way,
    With open hearts and open minds, there’s a better price to pay.
    No more cries of hatred, no more shattered dreams,
    Let’s walk the path of peace and find what love redeems.


    In the silence after shouting, in the calm after the storm,
    We’ll find the strength to listen to a world that’s been so torn.
    It’s in our hands to change it, the power’s in our hearts,
    To turn the tide of violence and make a brand new start.
