Autistic Empathy

Empathy comprehend,

in a world that does not bend,

Autistic souls, feeling deep,

Emotions are flowing, boundless, steep.

over-sensitive, they say,

as our depths sway,

not wrong, no blame,

we decline your shame.

In depths, passion lies,

burning, fierce, wise,

empathy thrives,

we make the world alive.

It’s draining a heavy weight,

The world can not relate,

bear with us as we try,

we are beyond the why.

Understand beauty resides,

In hearts compassion abides,

differences add colors vast,

a complexity, emotions are cast.

autistic souls, it’s true,

emotions deep, love pursue,

bring change, make a stand,

freedom to feel, we demand.

embrace our passion, our intensity,

We seek balance, we seek serenity,

Together, let’s create a space,

emotional depths, acceptance embrace.

The world needs people like us,

hearts afire and souls that fuss,

We’ll bridge gaps, foster connections,

shine a light on diverse reflections.

Autistic hearts, profound, sincere,

emotions to share that bring us near,

enriching the world given a chance

join us in this emotional dance.
