This is written for my beautiful daughter!! From her perspective I hope I do it justice :)
I don't like that bright light,
And that loud noise fills me with fright,
I'm confused wait what's that smell,
I don't like it can't you tell,
I get angry quite a lot,
Can I tell you why? No I cannot,
I don't even know why,
Sometimes I scream shout and cry,
It makes me feel better,
At school I can barely read a letter,
It's frustrating,
Complicating,
I say things I don't mean,
Especially when I shout and scream,
I line my toys up in a line,
When they get knocked down it is a crime,
I hate the tags in my clothes,
I don't know why no one knows,
I like things to stay the same,
If they're not you're the one I blame,
I cannot tell the time,
So rely on you to tell me everything's fine,
Days of the week I cannot sequence,
You do sensory circuits as part of my treatment,
My weighted blanket is the best,
You give it to me to unwind and de-stress,
Today I like cheese tomorrow I may not,
I'm sensitive to temperature thinking things are too hot,
A tiny cut hurts like hell,
Over sensitive to pain as well,
My life is a jigsaw with scattered pieces,
My anxiety increases,
When I don't understand,
You are there to hold my hand,
My life is pretty confusing,
But I never give up Im refusing,
Always have a smile on my face,
Dealing with disability with huge dainty grace.
