Wishing everyone a magical Disfaebled Friday and Happy Autgust ~
(About autistics, disabilities, and changelings)
image description under cut
An original poem titled "Changling" where each panel is identical except for the last, and contains one stanza. On most panels is a light red fairy sitting with their back to the audience on a leaf. Their wings are the rainbow neurodiversity symbol. The background is layers of grass and greenery with pink flowers, and a water color blue sky. On the last panel the fairy is gone and colorful confetti is left in their wake. Text reads:
Changling
The child my parents wanted has never set foot in their home
I was stollen away
By this magic called Autism
A magic they cannot understand
A magic they do not believe in
🌿
They tell me I am cursed but when I find my home
Amongst the quiet woods, the endless prairie, the solid shore
I am free
And I dance with my magic
I cast spells with my hands
I sing tunes they cannot understand
And I do it over and over and over again
🌿
I am not my parent’s child
My parent’s child never was
I am a fairy
I steal the names they gave their child
And I give myself my own.
Diseased is now Dancer
Cursed is now Enchanted
Burden is now Breaker
Inhuman is now Supernatural
🌿
And you do not get these powers
You do not see the magic
You do not honor the children – now grown – who claimed a space where they were not wanted
🌿
We tread where the child in your mind cannot walk.
We stride the Earth, inevitable – like the sunrise.
We sing where you wanted silence.
We are silent where you wanted empty words.
We fail to fall when our hands our wings
Flapping them until we can steal ourselves away
From the world of allistic misery.
🌿
I am not a broken human being.
I am Nothing that you could ever imagine.
Because your world is small
And you do not believe in Magic.
🌸
