about

A poem about an autistic perspective on life and social interaction with "normal" people. Take it from an aspie, you lot are a proper freakshow.

lyrics

You're so weird,
Whether clean shaven or with a beard
from the front or from the rear
Your just weird, but I hope you draw near,
I won't steer clear of you.
It's like I'm red and your blue
with your hard to read expression
inability to distinguish dedication and obsession
what your ashamed of I see as blessings
and it's hard to see if your sincere or messing.
WHICH IS IT!?
cos I honestly can't tell,
whether your suicidal, or feeling swell
loving life or living hell
I can't tell, but I'll try to assist
in my own unique way, with my own special twist
And yes, I might miss some essential social ques
but all I'm trying to do is the best by you

and yet, I can't help but wonder,
whether this dedication is just another blunder,
do you see me as me, or just another pain
in the neck I'm afraid to check and it drives me insane
cos I don;t know, and in my position with my condition
not knowing hurts like the most devastating blow
cos uncertainly breed fear, which I just can;t control
a fear that paralyses the potential in my soul
It slows my ability to grow and accept the fact tat I have my own flow
If I can't see the line then how can I tow?
If I can't feel the water then how do I row?
But enough about myself, enough introspection
I'll turn my inflections in your direction
regardless of objection or my fear of rejection
Cos I love and respect you because of imperfection
it's what builds connections as sweet as confection
You lot are strange cos your scared of being distinct
it's deranged cos the distinct keep us form going extinct
You lot are odd for taking things at face worth
like hot bods or odd socks, dig deeper through the dirt
and unearth a bit of truth which to me is crystal clear.
You "normals" you're so weird.
