Autism From The Inside

• Artist: lSailor Elizabeth Swannl
• Description: It is tough to describe Autism from what it is like on the inside, especially for somebody who has it. It is like a prison.

Every sight is much brighter
So I shield my eyes.
Every sound is much louder
So I shield my ears.
Every smell is much stronger
So I close my nose.
Every taste is much tastier
So I cannot stop until it is done.
Every touch is much stronger
So I lose my focus.
Every emotion is much stronger
So I get my legs stuck.
Every voice is much harsher
So I avoid talking.
Every poke is much sharper
So I fly or fight.
Every cut in my heart is much deeper
So I stay away from everyone,
For everyone has knives.
I am a slave to my sensations.
Will somebody help me out of slavery
So I can be free at last?
