I’m old and a girl and no one told me
My brain is weird
But, apparently, it is
And always was.
Blessed Holy Wholeness,
I know what I have to do,
I know how to do it.
I want to do it,
But then I don’t.
I really want a clean home,
I have many closets and cupboards.
I have time to clean,
But I don’t.
I have phone calls to make and
Important papers to hand in.
It’s not rocket science,
But I don’t.
My feelings feel so huge
And they must be expressed.
I’m told to calm down
But I don’t
I know I’m rude,
When I see patterns and truth.
I try to shut up
But I don’t.
My friends talk too slowly,
So boring.
I try not to interrupt
But then I do.
I’m so tired of being annoying
But I like being quirky.
Tell me what to do, I might even do it
But probably not.
I give thanks for this diagnosis,
It’s interesting.
Amen
