Not like you.

They think I'm weird,
I have autism.
The hate I once feared,
Is now my inspiration.

You don't like me 'cus I'm not like you,
I'm just different and'll always be me.
Don't you realise I have feelings too?
From nastiness, I just want to be free.

Your words cut deep like a knife,
Wounds that'll never heal.
For the rest of my life,
The self-hate that I will always feel.

I drown in a deep ocean,
It's big and blue.
It's full of pain and emotion,
Caused by you.

I'm only young,
But this is the hill I'll die on.
To treat someone like this,
Is just so wrong.
