Poetry thread

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 told myself I understand everyone of me
    Except the part that would disagree,
    Its others that have the difficulty,
    What I see others may or may not see,
    What they see I may or may not see,
    The world is full of complexity
    Confusing so often it can be,
    I guess the human race behaves interestingly.
