UNDIAGNOSED ADULTS IS WHAT WE ARE by Joanne Boyle


"UNDIAGNOSED ADULTS IS WHAT WE ARE"
by Joanne Boyle

They call us crazy paranoid.
They say we are insane.
Some even dare to tell us
to take the loopy train.
They don't understand,
what it feels like to be you,
To constantly torment yourself
with the things that others do.
To speak about how you feel,
then made to wince with shame.
Wishing that just once
you could win this game.
The one that they call life.
The one where people live
that can torment your mind
with just a look they give.
In the outside world,
where you think all is well,
until someone speaks
and you have to tell.
Where your thoughts were at peace,
until the music played
and then you found you danced
as their rhythm strayed.
To want to run away,
to somewhere new,
rather than to explain
what you are going through.
The young are diagnosed
in this day and age,
whilst adults still struggle,
whilst sharing the same page.
Sensitive souls, they are taunted
always causing trouble,
so we all walk away
alone in our bubble.
Too proud to talk.
Too stubborn to cry.
We won't be a victim
to the question why.
These adults are the children,
with the problems of today,
we were just undiagnosed,
but the problems stay.
