Loneliness Is My Friend ( A Poem About My Autistic Son's Quest To Find Acceptance and Friendship)

in #poetry7 years ago

Loneliness Is My Friend

As I stared across the field
The neighborhood kids were playing happily
Why don’t they ask me to play
Loneliness is my friend

My school mates laughed as I walk past them
I just can’t help wondering
Were they laughing at me
Loneliness is my friend

They poked fun at me
And said I acted funny
My tears can’t wash the hurts away
Loneliness is my friend

I know that I am different
I stick out like a sore thumb
Why can’t they just accept me
Loneliness is my friend

As the years slipped by
The scars remain
I have embraced loneliness
But now I finally have some friends.

What a beautiful poem <3 :)

Thank you. Finding friends and acceptance is tough if you are different.

Yes indeed..

Very nice lines and I can feel the pain hidden. I have some cases of autism in my family. Music therapy is a very good way to make them feel better. If you have time then do some research n avail the services for your son. God bless you all.

Thanks for the encouragement. We have tried various therapies without much success. Music therapy in not available in Kuching where I lived. He has shown an interest in art, and we are moving in that direction.

Art is also a good way no doubt. I wish you all the best. Cheers!!!!!

Stay positive !
