Conditions and Diseases

In life,
with it’s many creases, 
there you are on the internet,
inventing new conditions or diseases.

We don’t ask for the labels,
but they are given anyway,
with you, relationships are a dictatorship,
no one really has a say.

And now, as my care rushes away,
and my hurt steps down from its soap box,
packs up and has little more to say.
I unleash all the things I should have said,
I only hope, at night,
that you learn to sleep in your bed.

You said,
‘I don’t have friends – because I have Aspergers’.
You do not have friends, 
because you do not listen to people.
You’re too busy being holier than thou,
clinging too tight to your holy steeple.

You do not have Aspergers,
just a childhood that did you little favours,
and a lack of courage to embrace your identity.
A personality that has found its own disorder,
a rationale based upon insanity.

We did not ask for the labels,
the ones you insist that we all wear,
if you could stopping tripping over your hang ups,
you might have found how much people can care.

And now, as i let go of this wreckless desire,
this sad need for me to be right,
I step out from your shadow and your poison,
i find away from you, the world is so bright.

In life,
There are many creases,
why are you to be found on the internet?
Inventing conditions and diseases.
