Survey Me

Survey me
a seventeen year old black teen
You cannot surprise me
but I may surprise upon being seen
On the outside
simple but happy I may seem
but on the inside
the life I thought I would live is nothing more than a dream
I hate
the idea that I am reclusive and seem
to be high on my own thoughts
a self-medicating dream
Aspergers
is everything, and nothing, that it seems
but once was a curse
turned into an impossible dream
The truth is that
since becoming a teen
I have changed my thoughts
I want to be seen
because what I want to see
is for others like me to achieve their dreams
Appreciate me
for what I have become
Don’t follow me
for I’m not the only one
