Now I know Autism is a part of me
It's not an ailment, it's not temporary
Accepting, Unmasking
Feeling, Losing control
Every moment I forget
The next I reflect on the memory
Every moment I remember more
Bring with them so many memories
Looking back at my life
Always something new
To identify and process
It's exhausting, full blown burnout
Burned out, no no I can't
Stop
I can't stop remembering
Emotionally unprocessed memories
My brain on overdrive blowing smoke
I'm burned out, such heavy baggage
I love opening up
I have no problem thinking (solution or ideologies)
I have no negativity or integrity limiting
Left inside of me (rehab)
I'm taking your advice (yes I do)
You can look and tell"stop analyzing, damn!"
But nothing helps
I have to go through stage two (Stage two!)
Stage zero was living my life
(The experience)
Stage one diagnoses and
Neurotypical therapy
(That's a waste man)
Having no solutions
No technique I can trust
I was noticing I didn't get much
Out of all these therapies
(Such in compatibility)
That's insane to me
(Who me? Who am I am?)
Stage two began as such
You tried and tired out all of the popular stuff
Now you need a rough, something real
That will help me live my life
I got exhausted trying everything
For fourteen years
Nothing works I want to cry
But I still have no tears
Now you open up to new ideas
Hearing again all the neuro typical stuff
Disconnecting, Resetting
Understanding I'm different
Really really, Truly realistically
(Different)
Ask your psychiatrist
Do they have neuro diverse training
And if they don't (don't trust em)
Go to an autism expert (trust em instead)
They'll see you
See you are (Different)
I got exhausted trying everything!
Fourteen years!
Nothing works I want to cry
But I still have no tears
Did you try just being?
Stop hiding and just feeling?
Can you do that without losing your head?
No? I see
How about neuro divergent therapy instead?
Got dang it sounds the same but differently!
Unblocking my brain
I have to work through
Lost memories to indulge in
I want to feel those feelings again!
But now without going insane
The way to go is long
But I know what I'm doing now
Yes I know now
And it's working!
I'm crying!
We'll see where we go from here
