JaysWorld

I not support puzzle piece not for me
I not break even with disability
I not here teach lesson
I not make like this because bad
my struggle not yours

I person whole complete

I worth you see or not
I not smart your way I smart my way

you see complicate I see simple
I see beautiful little thing
soft cat fur

colour sky sunset

you fast I slow
stop look
see feel listen
world beautiful make art all alone

I not break not piece
I not project
I not inspire
I not bad disability not bad

I not want you cure
I not want you pity
I me I me
I me scream I me rock I me pain meltdown stim routine
I me need help or not

I not child
don’t tell good not scream
don’t tell good smile
I allow be mad
I allow say thing wrong

I exist
I deserve equal

Community

JaysWorld

I am autistic but I’m not part autistic community.
my voice drowned by other autistic say autism good we smart we understand even not speaking we always communicating.
but I not smart I don’t understand I cannot do amazing things.
I can’t work I can’t do anything without help I need care all time day and night.
I say not understand I be ignore. I left out for the louder voices. Smarter. Can work. Do great things.
I need long times understanding I long long time learn anything. I not be valuable to community society I just exist.
having intellectual disability I repeated put aside.
I tired trying I tired not friendship I tired be alone.
I tired be outside not belong anywhere.
where can I belong when nobody want?

I am alone

JaysWorld

I alone
this world not made for me
I not fit anywhere
I try so hard
I use words I not understand
nobody understand me
it not my language
I am watching from the outside
people say we welcome you
I still feel lost alien
nowhere I can be all of me
I not smart everyone think I understand I don’t
I am alone
this world not for me
I tired I lonely
friend so hard make
I can’t fight anymore
it breaks me
I am alone
