Mind
I struggle daily trying to make my mouth work like everyone else around me. It’s as if there is a missing link that I cannot call on to make it happen. I am trying more and more to get the words in my head to come out of my mouth.
Inside my mind
I often find
An empty space
That needs a trace
Of something I can’t
Quite put in words.
It’s like a hole,
Dark and deep,
Waiting for the light
To seep
Within.
Compassion
There are many things people have to deal with. I deal with autism. Some people are sick, lonely, depressed, homeless and hungry. Everyone could use prayer.
There are people everywhere.
They could use a prayer.
Today.
Everyone has a need.
Take it to God with speed.
Bright Future
I am strong and mighty inside. I want to express myself freely.
