neurodivergence
“on the spectrum”
means what?
living in a rainbow
inside a hologram?
refracting light?
your green
aura invisible?
the spectrum
a euphism for
so weird no one will
play your games?
no one wants to
read your maps of
fairy land?
lonely…but afraid to
make friends… hiding
in closets… under tables?
escape from bright lights
recoil from cacophony
from swarms of voices?
you wave your hands
you rock on the floor
you crawl inside yourself
your mind explodes like
skyflowers in July
you
Dance in your own Sparkle

Seriously adore this explanation
I love this depiction. This poem feels important to me. Peeking back layers of the onion.
I meant peeling.❤️
This is another poem written in the voice of a character in the novella I’m writing.
She’s the girl under the table.
You nailed it! Well done!
Thanks!!!
Wow! “Dance in your own sparkle” seals the deal for me.

What a description, and the last lines really worked for me.
I love what you have written. The visual way you have put observations and ways of being into words allows me to see several kids I have known. Thank you for this poem!
