Another one came right after the first one. Here it is 🙂
—
Just a face in the crowd
Would you be able to tell?
Can you see any scars?
Any evidence of hell?
There’s a crack in the sky
Where it all rained down
I don’t know what’s beyond
I can’t hear the sound
Elephants in the room
Can someone tell me why
Masquerades are the rule
And I’m wrong for being wry
There’s a knock at the door
The skeletons fall through
Hanging next to my coat
Relief, it’s only you
Just a face in the crowd
Just a fact of my life
Just a whisper on a wing
Just a bump in the night
Make me run to the end
Prove to me I’m alive
Give me color to see
Make me burst from inside
Make it all become real
No question left unasked
Show me my real face
For I have been masked
Too long
Leave me now with my thoughts
Hashing over again
What I might should have said
Who I might should have been
Maybe now I will break
Maybe now I will bust
You could be entertained
Stick around if you must
I’m not sure what to think
There’s a settle to the score
I’m not sure how I feel
Maybe I wanted more
There’s a chain link to break
Would this one hold the key?
How much more can I take?
When do I get to be me?
There’s a ruse on the wind
There’s a spark in the sky
Maybe this is the reason
I’ve been forever asking why
A presence in the room
A shadow in the hall
A word left unsaid
A secret passage in the wall
I’m just scratching my head
I’m just looking around
It’s what I do best
Is there a spirit Lost & Found?
When do I get my chance?
When will it be my turn?
I think I’m ready to speak
I think it’s starting to burn
you’ve captured the conundrum of women with autism perfectly here. sometimes it’s like a heavy winter coat in the middle of summer…or a back pack filled with bricks…you want to just take them off, drop them, and sigh with relief (after being recognized for a change). this one pulled at the heart strings and tear ducts. 🙂

best poem ive read in a while. (granted i dont read a lot of poems these days, but i really did like this one. its got zero hints of being pretentious, and its not awkward at all. that puts it above most of why i dont read many poems in the first place.) ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
