Neurodivergent
And there's no way around it
Everything I say and do
Is suspect

Neurodivergent
Having it better than some
But don't tell anyone how hard
I'm working
To get around it

Some people say things
That make you stop and think
Some people actually have a difficult time
Expressing themselves at all

This feeling of being out of control
For many people struggling
Is not new
But perhaps some people's knowledge of it is

Neurodivergent
And there's no way around it
Everything I say and do
Is suspect

Neurodivergent
Having it better than some
But don't tell anyone how hard
I'm working
To get around it

Everyone has issues
This is true
And there's scales for understanding people like me and you

Not everyone takes stock
Of their plusses and minuses
Leaving room for the jokes and jerks to hurt those who are sensitive among us

Neurodivergent
And there's no way around it
Everything I say and do
Is suspect

Neurodivergent
Having it better than some
But don't tell anyone how hard
I'm working
To get around it
