Mind's Eye

My thoughts they tend to wander,

never staying in one place.

Always on a new train,

inconsistency I face.

It might look like achieving,

but I'm really overwhelmed.

With the pressure of the typicals,

they don't understand my hell.

The world is fashioned for them,

all follow in a line,

the process I just can't grasp,

in my neurodivergent mind.

I want to touch & feel & see,

I need to be hands on.

I need to learn more than this,

I can't be strung along.

I deserve the opportunities,

to learn how I learn best.

Not all learning should be rigid,

always preparing for a test.

Let me move my body,

experience through play.

Not keep me in a desk,

for 7 hours of the day.

My mind it can be nurtured,

I can learn the things you wish.

It just takes another method,

so many seem to miss.

I'm compared to all the children,

who aren't the same as me.

Told that how they are,

is the way that I should be.

I was made this way for reason,

I've got a different path to pave.

As long as I can power through,

not shrink inside this cave.

I've got skills & knowledge plentiful,

if you would only listen.

There's a massive piece of this glorious puzzle,

that everyone is missing.

I don't mean to cause disruption,

I try to give my best to you.

My mind just isn't suited,

to learn how others do.

So please give me your patience,

and just a little grace,

as I have other wild thoughts,

I need to explore & I must chase.
