I, a neurodivergent mother, in socials, a world unknown,

For the love of family, I bravely tread,

In customs and traditions that are not my own.

I hide myself from the others, as they might see me,

For my daughter’s sake, I’ve entered this place,

Amidst the confusion, A leader, a guide, embracing it all.

A journey of love, and strength I find in God’s grace.

But I can find no comfort in the presence of others,

With every step, I gather my might,

At first, a daunting thought, I confess,

Joining the convoy, our journey takes flight.

Traveling outside of my comfort,

For the love of family, I’ve become a guide,

From headlights to taillights, we travel as one,

I find strength within me, with my daughter by my side.

I focus on her and no one else.

Into a world unknown to me,

I set my fear aside, I hide myself,

A neurodivergent mother, forging a legacy.

I do this for her, yet it makes me stronger too.

For my dear daughter’s sake, I take this stride,

Love’s journey, a smile on my face.

Through confusion’s haze, as a leader, I guide.

I wonder if they can see me.

The strength I gather, from grace up above,

As a neurodivergent, group events overwhelm me,

In the embrace of faith, I find unwavering love.

My daughter’s smile makes it worthwhile.

Daunting at first, these uncertain ways,

For my daughter’s sake, I give it my all,

But with each challenge, my spirit ablaze.

I will crumble and cry later.

Empowered by God’s grace, with courage inside.

Who knew the benefits of such a small thing?

With my daughter by my side, I stand dignified.

I have the memories and cherish the memories.
