On the Spectrum
I don’t quite fit in
I don’t quite fit in at school
At practice, at parties
I asked why
Now I know
I’m on the spectrum
It means you’re on a rainbow
Some people are on
Red
Who have trouble talking or
Listening to others
and some may not even talk
some struggle with learning anything new
That’s just how they are
Some people are on
Orange
Who have trouble communicating
Not able to behave themselves
That’s just how they are
Some people are on
Yellow
Green
Blue
And Purple
I suppose you could say I’m on purple
No behavior problems
Or learning issues
But
Trouble making friends
Keeping conversations going
Or maintaining eye contact
And that’s just how I am
Just like those on
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
And Blue
Are
Now I know
Who I am
How I am
Why I am
Who I am
And
What makes me
Who I am
And now I know
The who, how, why, and what
But
I still want to know
The when
Maybe never
Maybe soon
