To spend one's life,
when others don't comprehend,
Friendships are shattered,
relationships will end.
I'm so tired of explaining my view,
while most of the time,
I just bear it,
and do how they do.
I am labeled as lazy,
by those that don't know me,
I've climbed higher mountains,
I've dived deep in the sea.
My days are much longer,
than most here on earth,
my life has been flying,
from the day of my birth.
I own in depth perception,
I own a view from the side,
I make right and wrong choices,
yet I have nothing to hide.
My empathy is draining,
I feel pain that is not mine,
yet there are many fools,
that think I waste time.
Next time these short thinkers,
turn on a light,
or put on their glasses,
or use their corrected sight.
Chances are good,
they can thank one of us,
while they were thoughtlessly resting,
I was designing a truss.
While a short minded person,
was telling me it just can't work out,
I was thinking of a way,
that I could stop draught.
So please, please don't knock me,
For I won't knock you,
For life needs different thinking,
your kind and mine too.
For all of my add family,
be thankful and use your voice,
even if your misunderstood,
remember they don't have our choice.
