ceecee Report post Posted October 27, 2005 Hi All Just thought I would share with you this poem about my dad, whom I suspect of having aspergers.This is written through the viepoint of others as I have had no contact with him since I was five.I hope some of you can relate to this poem. A Misunderstood Man They all thought he was just shy They never knew the reason why They all thought he wanted to lock his door And people he wanted to ignore Nobody really liked him much He ruined everything he touched Christmas,Birthdays and the like Were met with great fright He liked to control everyone he held dear Trying to mask his every fear It all became too much So drink became his friendly crutch Now he had something to hide behind While his self he tried to find He knew something was wrong He knew he didn't fit in and belong The art of communication Caused him much frustration Social nicetiescaused him much despair Emotions were not something he could ever share Trouble is he was born over sixty years ago And although what was wrong was there on show No one had opened the door And gone inside to explore I guess he'll die Without ever knowing the reason why It's all such a shame that no one ever understood the reasons for his pain.
