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

  • I just did this in an hour. I was thinking back to June.

    .

    Diagnosis

    .

    The time has come, answer to know,
    Need to attend, don't want to go.
    Wiil it be yes, will it be no?
    And what if neither, don't make make it so.

    Future has come, finally here,
    Long did it feel, now it is near,
    Came in a rush, still I must wait.
    Can I now learn, what of my fate?

    Thanks for coming, please take a seat,
    Hope you are well, process to greet.
    Perch on the edge, sitting quite prim,
    Am I ready, patience quite thin.

    Here's the moment, answer's coming,
    Time is stretching, guesses running,
    Looking for signs, what will it be?
    Here it is now, just have to see.

    I'm happy to say, what does that mean?
    Verdict is clear, know what I've seen.
    My judgement, leads me to say,
    Criteria met, answer is yay.

    Waiting is over, and there it is.
    Moment is flat, not any fizz.
    Somebody knows, I have been seen.
    How should I feel, what does it mean?

    A smile appears, then it is gone,
    Am I happy, seems to be wrong,
    Feelings mixed, brain on the case,
    Can't let it show, handle with grace.

    Uncertain now, future to face,
    Thoughts of the past, where do I place.
    Re-frame begins, feels unstable,
    How do I now, craft a new fable.
