My Name—

a White Mask

Layered with Masks

of Their “Normal”...

Beyond those Masks,

I am Gradients

of Water Color Rainbows,

Dancing, Shifting,

Swirling...

In my Mind,

my Rainbow-Infinity-Neurodivergent-Brain,

that cannot be White-Boxed,

instead,

Loosely-Contained,

leaking Colors,

painted Tans and Browns by the Summer Sun…

A living Rainbow of Thought,

Of Being,

Fluctuating Saturations

of Shy Blue and Forward Yellow,

Sensory Purple and Obsessive Orange,

Self-Soothing Green and Perseverative Red,

Flowing, Ebbing,

Misunderstood

by the “Color-Blind,”

pulled by the many Moons and Tides

of Others,

Embraced with Love

by those with Open Hearts

beholding Beauty

in the Vast Array...

Infinitely-Infinity,

my Spectrum of Color and Light,

Ever-Blossoming Rebirth—

“Lux Autistic Aurorae,”

my Never-Ending

Song of Self.
