Loneliness Is My Friend ( A Poem About My Autistic Son's Quest To Find Acceptance and Friendship)
Loneliness Is My Friend
As I stared across the field
The neighborhood kids were playing happily
Why don’t they ask me to play
Loneliness is my friend
My school mates laughed as I walk past them
I just can’t help wondering
Were they laughing at me
Loneliness is my friend
They poked fun at me
And said I acted funny
My tears can’t wash the hurts away
Loneliness is my friend
I know that I am different
I stick out like a sore thumb
Why can’t they just accept me
Loneliness is my friend
As the years slipped by
The scars remain
I have embraced loneliness
But now I finally have some friends.
Cheers

What a beautiful poem <3 :)
Thank you. Finding friends and acceptance is tough if you are different.
Yes indeed..
Very nice lines and I can feel the pain hidden. I have some cases of autism in my family. Music therapy is a very good way to make them feel better. If you have time then do some research n avail the services for your son. God bless you all.
Thanks for the encouragement. We have tried various therapies without much success. Music therapy in not available in Kuching where I lived. He has shown an interest in art, and we are moving in that direction.
Art is also a good way no doubt. I wish you all the best. Cheers!!!!!
