Speaking freely
According to neurotypical people
Seems to be the easiest thing in the world
But they can’t even begin to imagine the things that go through our minds
I can only really speak for myself
But I know that no matter what these people think
They will never be quite ready to hear what I have to say
Let alone understand it
I know from experience
That they are gonna beg to be involved in whatever you got going on
But once you open your mouth and let the words spill
You get told you’re begging for attention
After that it’s not about daring or being brave
It’s about swallowing your pain and keeping your head high
