through these eyes

lile for an autistic teenage boy

THROUGH AUTISTIC EYES

through these eyes

no others see

tough there is pain and sorrow

he is left to be

a stranger and an outcast

unable to socialize

he is often felt despised

those arms that long to embrace

now seem to be a waste

others feel him shove them so

but was ment as a jental tap

explodes and grows

counselors have tried there best

though its hard to talk to a mind never at rest

and then his life is broke apart

a lovely girl young and lean

has caught the eye of his distressed heart

this beautiful girl has many friends

he suddenly longs to be like her

to release himself from his life of blur

but as hard as he tries

it all seems to fail

he knows that he can fallow no other trail

he was ment for this path

to conquer trough others wrath

so do not despise

thoughs lonely eyes

they stand alone as a light to us all

so comfort them when they fall

First of all I have to say that I am amazed at your
talent here, taking your age into consideration.
Not only the gift of pen you so obviously possess,
but your insight and empathy... incredible.

You have a very bright future ahead Abby... !

Thank you for sharing the struggles of autism
with your readers, as many of them may not
know or understand it... and knowledge is powerful!

Outstanding work! Indeed....

Wow i have never seen anyone express about young adults with autism. I have autism, and i am writing a book currently called I felt Hope about my experience.

[Brianna Brie]

Great message delivered with a compassionate heart. Thanks for helping us see through the eyes of another. It's a pleasure to read in the Missing Him, Missing Her contest.

Very powerful poem in a day and age where it is so rare to see people respecting those who are different. Very mature poem, please keep writting.

[The Mad Prophet]

Very well expressed. You write with emotion, my favorite element in a poem.

[Kitty]

This is a very deep poem. I agree with Celtic Cat: it's sad that not everyone can see autistic people as the beautiful himans that they are!

Nicely done!

Josie

Good work,

its good. the rhyme seems a tad stiff at times, but such is the risk when venturing into rhyming poetry. the story itself, is an insightful, moving little work.
well done. keep writing.

Although there were a few grammatical errors, the poem itself was nice.
It has a nice outlook, shares a bit of positivity in something otherwise dismal. Although the feel of the poem was solemn, the message was the truely positive part.
Nice job for such a young person : )
