The Brainy Me

 Metaphorical is my language!

My neurodivergent brain talks in metaphors

Little does it have filters

Rarely does it sit well with neurotypicals

They call it too complex

Irrelevant even

My metaphors are way too much

'I' am way too metaphoric

Or is it me being way too versatile?

Way too diverse for the neurotypicals to manage?

Are "brainy" & "smart" names for "not understandable"?

Are these to actually push me away?

Straight through space in a sweet little capsule

Ah, there goes me metaphor-ing

Hey, am I too metaphor-y for you?

Or am I simply too brainy/smart?

Or is it all the same to you?

Tell you what, it's not all the same for me.

Sometimes, I'm too brainy for myself

Too neurodivergent to manage

And my way of belonging,

Of reading between the lines,

Is METAPHORS!

Isn't that what you wanted?

A Me that's good at reading between the lines?

Then why?

Am I reading y'all too well?

Doesn't that sit well with you?

I wonder why...
