Hiya guys 
Does anyone else find poetry is a good way to express emotions?
Reason I ask, is I've been looking around the web for places to advertise my book and found a lot of people with Aspergers seem to do poetry and find its a good way to deal with feelings/emotions. And they seem to be able to express things they can't express in any other way - like I find it easier to write down things anyway, rather than discuss it openly.
If anyone does write poems, we could share them here?
Here's one of mine:
?BLINDFOLDED
I can see that you need me
but I don?t know how or why,
and I can see that you?re broken
but I just can?t understand - understand me.
It?s not the things in front of me that I can?t see.
It?s everything that?s behind your face
and all your neurotypical ways
that confound me.
If you only took the time
just to try to see through my eyes -
the way I spend my life,
trying to unravel your mysteries.
Then maybe we could be fine.
Maybe even normal.
Until then I guess we?ll wait,
you on one side and I on the other -
because there is no halfway point.
So sick of trying to be normal,
why should I have to change for you?
It?s like I?m blindfolded,
and deaf to you - and everything you are.?
Now that I'm coping a lot better I prefer to write short stories etc rather than poetry.
