Concentrate
Stacey Pedwell 1988 (United Kingdom)
Always forget how good I am at poetry!!
CONCENTRATE.
I am me,
But also not me.
Shut up they say,
Why are you so loud,
Ssh calm down.
Stop being silly,
Grown up,
Act normal.
CONCENTRATE!!
How do I calm the rush in my head,
The constant whirling like a vortex trying to pull me into the obis,
Why are they staring,
Ssh calm the noise.
CONCENTRATE!!
Angel, Angle get it know.
Stupid not disabled
Being ostracised,
Sniggering behind hands,
That ones different,
JUST be normal!!
Clicking your heels together there's no place like hooomme..
CONCENTRATE!!
What is normal?,
Did I say something stupid?,
Don't be smart,
Don't humiliate yourself,
Don't upset anyone,
Don't drop the mask!!
Ooh what's that over there!
CONCENTRATE!!
About this poem
About being neurodivergent struggling through the chaos off a linear world and a full and busy brain.
