When You have Autism You learn to survive By masking your true self From everyone else, but Now that Autism is "ok" to have We're told it's "ok" to show Our true selfs, though They're unaware how masking Is no longer a choice For all of those like me Who grew up masking constantly Because though they were unaware The cruelty of their stares Felt like the fires from Hell Searing our masks to our faces Meaning taking it off Means tearing off our face Like Dr. Doom in Robot Chicken When asking him why he's so grouchy
Thank you so much! This week has been pretty hard, so I wanted to capture the pain that comes from the panic of opening up after having been closed off from the world for so long.
nice how you capture and release these moments with your words.
also helps us as readers (myself a teacher ) understand more.
wishing a better week for you 🙏🤍
