Sounds are incredibly loud to me.
They ricochet in my head.
And please, no touching, it’s not my thing
Just smile when you talk instead.

“He’s just strange,  he’s an oddball, he’s weird.”
That what’s been said by many.
They have no idea of how I feel.
They aren’t aware of any

Of the thoughts that I am thinking of
How really smart that I am.
It’s the social things that trip me up
I wish they could understand.

There are many facets to people.
How they walk, and talk, and play.
That’s why snap judgements may let you down
And often get in the way

Of actually knowing a person
Finding how you can relate.
So take some time and give it a try
Or else it may be too late

To really see who someone may be
Not the silly surface stuff.
You may connect on the tiniest point
But one point may be enough

To start a relationship growing
You must nurture it with care.
You may find you have a lifelong friend
A person who’ll always be there

To help when the times get really tough
Or just for a pleasant day.
It takes effort to know a person.
Don’t let labels get in the way.
