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

Parents

  • I close my eyes and I see you again

    ageless beauty only a mother can attain

    I hear my name from the bottom stair

    and answer offhandedly without much care

    you call again, closer this time... I turn my head

    and then I wake up, alone in my bed

    dreams sweet deceit 

    I wrote that after my mother passed away. She was all I really had in this world
