Don’t knock
I’ve already let you in
Being brutally honest
is my cardinal sin
Put on all the makeup in the world
I’ll still call you ugly
People laugh in hordes
and I still can’t find them funny
Complementing for a complement
is vain decadence
and dressing for someone you’ll probably dump
shows a lack of intelligence
Roses are red,
Violets are blue
Sugar leads to cancer
And, oh yeah, I hate you
Stupid expectations
and hilarious ignorance
“Aspergers is just an excuse for kids to be rude”
Why don’t you use some damn common sense?
When you’re ignorant, you excuse
and when you’re wrong
you change your views
Just admit that you don’t get it
And your PhD?
Worth a pile of shit
To those who live it
to those who own it
to those who hide it
and those not afraid to show it
Test after test, lecture after lecture
grant after grant, and law after law
Don’t you realize
that one isn’t like all?
Step away from your degree
and let me snatch away your glory
put you in a class of bullies
and see if you’re still holy
Here’s your homework: don’t go on the march
and instead play a more personable part
Sit down and talk to us
open up these hearts
UPSET ALERT: We’re not any different
than you
but how you treat us
is up to you

Love this. It’s angry but i got a feeling of you shedding off some of your frustration (even if temporary). It felt liberating.

Thanks a lot Beth
It is very angry, but I did feel relieved writing it. See, I came out to my teen arts council that I was on the spectrum, and I got a really nice reception, so it was a million weights of my shoulders. Very liberating. 🙂
