Different, Not Wrong

I’m different.

Some might say I’m sensitive,

a little slow,

strangely secluded,

and some think I’m stupid.

I don’t see things the way most do.

When I see a crowd,

I see a thousand individuals,

each bustling and buzzing,

yet all at once.

I rarely rush.

I am meticulous and detail oriented.

And when things aren’t the way they’re supposed to be,

I am ridden with anxiety.

Though I’m painfully aware of my surroundings,

I tend to withdraw from interaction.

My eyes are glossy from the confusing atmosphere.

I can’t help but feel I don’t belong here.

My code was written differently,

but I’m not malfunctioning.

I’m quiet and fragile,

but I’m not ignorant.

I’m different,

but I’m not a mistake.

I have challenges I face in this peculiar world,

but I don’t have a disease that needs a cure.

I’m just me,

puzzling as that may be,

and I was made wonder-fully.
