Oh my goodness! Thank you EVERYONE, for your compliments on my writing, as well as the addition of your own stories and experiences! I have considered being a writer, but I feel number one that I am not good enough (my sister writes poetry and I feel I can't measure up) and number two because I was told they don't make enough money unless they really hit it big, like JK Rowling, Stephanie Meyer, those kinds of people (and for reference, I hate Twilight, but I adore Harry Potter!). I have at least ten more poems here, on my phone, if anyone would care to read them
they were written (most of them) during a bad time in my life a couple months ago. And the one I'm going to share with you was written on the night our beloved dog, Sydney, passed. I almost shared a picture, but I suppose it is because I am Cavy Caged that I cannot share it?
Sleep Sound
Your golden spirit held no fear
Of your demise, which was surely near
Your heart hasn't yet gone
I remember you playing in the backyard lawn
Carefree of suffering for a moment or two.
Jumping for joy when your friends arrived
I think we all wish something...insignificant died
Then the blow wouldn't hurt as much.
Soulful and running, until your last breath
Nothing could take us away but death
Ride in the heavens, willing and free
Your body was very dear to me
The Rainbow Bridge welcomes you, child.
But your mind even more so, with treasures abound
Sweet little Sydney, sleep sound, sleep sound.
Thank you again, everyone! Feel free to continue your inflow of messages, I love reading them!
And it's a funny thing, yesterday my mom told me I was 95% Asperger's, but the other five had them labeling me clinically as PDD-NOS! I hate that more than anything! But three doctors have diagnosed me with AS, so we go with it
Can't wait for the awareness events to start! Although, I hate that October gets more attention than April. Yes, it is a deadly condition. But it is not nearly as common, and does not last a lifetime! I appreciate the strong women out there who are fighting cancer, but autistics should get just as much love, merchandise, and publicity! I have a blue autism survival bracelet on me right now, and I'm going to find my shirt to wear tomorrow! Wish me luck!
