Fake smiles here fake nods there

listening but never talking 

the quiet girl who is quietly walking

knowing in my mind and heart what I  truly want to say 

but bottling it up and walking away 

giving into the wishes of others over and over again

 to avoid conflict

because of this you can`t say what you know

 This is the face of Aspergers 

an autistic disorder

Always to scared to show your eyes

You feel you must avert

must hide 

Society peers right into your secret your soul

As if they know

Sometimes you look up to see the birds fly

and you to want to fly away

up up away from what you are

and what people see

but you sit down instead quietly

always watching 

always knowing

Always looking away

This is you and you it

 this is who you are 

and what makes you

you put it back behind the curtain

so no one will know

and quietly off you go 

behind smoke and mirrors 

no one will see

who you are truly
