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

    A forum to seek, a forum to speak.
    A place to see, a place to be.
    Text to seed, text to read.
    To need, to heed.
    Word, heard.

    A disparate group, a mixed event,
    A welcoming mat, an opened tent.
    Challenge aplenty, people are spiky,
    Harmony always, not very likely.

    A simple rule, try to be kind,
    Should be easy, open your mind.
    Assume the best, don't get too bent,
    How some will read, not how it's sent.

    It's all too easy, to misread intent,
    A lack of context, who knows what is meant.
    There is a reason, diagnosed are some,
    Communications, problems not none.
