Sometimes I wonder

If others think the way I do.

 

It’s different in my mind.

Harder to imagine people and lives.

 

Everyone seems so far away.

As if I was looking through a window at them.

 

I wonder what they are thinking about.

Do they think about the things I do?

 

What are their lives like?

Do they function better than I do?

 

Sometimes I feel behind.

Trapped behind a wall of sorts.

 

I can’t catch up.

No matter how hard I try.

 

I’m always ten steps behind

With people laughing as I struggle.

 

They watch as I fail.

They point as I fall.

 

Why do I feel so different?

So far away?

 

I wonder

Do others think the way I do?

Do they function?

Or do they not?

Like me.
