I wake up each morning feeling extra bright,
However I am an outcast in ignorant people’s eyes.
I have a unique perspective and dimension in many situations,
But lack the ability of making an eye contact in many conversations.
I have many advantages which you lack,
I can remember dates and time of events which happened decades back.
I can be sometimes quite impulsive,
But if the need arises I am persuasive.
I don’t understand shades of grey,
To me everybody is good on any day.
Sometimes there is so much confusion in my head,
I can’t seem to recall what I have read.
Why can’t I talk like you and you,
You know what I mean, but laugh don’t you?
