My 9th article of emotion
Never Hook on What’s To Look
There’s a story behind something
Could even read it in a book
Still some are very shallow
To how something can look
It starts with what’s on the outside
Could’ve been born with it
Still whatever it is that shows
People gossip or even throw a fit
Like if one has a facial deformity
They’re called ugly or even worse
Don’t treat them like they’re not human
It can be a blessing and not a curse
There’s even some who had accidents
Left them a really bad scar
Still don’t hold it against them
It didn’t change who they are
Kindness needs to be given
A really great amount
Never judge the exterior
It’s the inside what really counts
Woes of a Friendship Close
You thought you were very close
There was a spark when you met
Shared some things in common
Thought it was a pal you were gonna get
Went on outings together
They were so much fun
Good talks now and then
Great activities in the sun
Now the brightness seems to have dimmed
Even if the time hasn’t been so long
They start to not care or like you
Suddenly the bond is not so strong
You called or texted to hang
They say they’re too busy or whatever
Something is definitely up
You feel hurt more than ever
When you see them you approach
To try and talk things through
All of a sudden that’s just it
They don’t wanna be with you
Anger and sadness take over
Maybe wanna break something with a bat
After everything you’ve been through
They’re gone just like that
So much emotion going through your head
Feel like you just wanna yell
Will your heart ever heal?
Only time will tell

My 8th article for Autism Awareness Month
Commotion to Enhanced Emotion
It just seems like a good day
Just to hope it will go long
Then you’re called to something
Means something could be wrong
Whatever it is caused a stir
Might even have caused a scare
Even if you explain yourself
Some just don’t care
Will anyone ever listen?
Wish it was all a dream
Really gotta find somewhere
To blow off a lot of steam
Could go for a run in the park
Meditation to find some sense
Trying a workout at the gym
Make the activity really intense
I know I’m a good guy
Never tried to commit a crime
Hope to find some peace
Heal with the passing of time

Podcast episode with advocate Holly Blanc Moses
Check me out on this podcast episode. Holly Blanc Moses is a great advocate herself and I’ve been trying to be a mentor to her son who also has autism. Last year Holly invited me to be on the Virtual Autism Summit.
