socialissues

We clad a different type of accessory
One that is not meant to be,
Like how I wear my heart upon my sleeve
Or how you have a mask to hide your grief.

A chain of toxicity and stereotypes
Laid down one chainlink at a time,
By all those who contribute to fuel
Every stigma that that you and I continue to feud.

Ignorance cannot be allowed as an excuse
By all those who feign to dispute,
That they have our best interest at heart
When we know they voluntarily take part.

We bear the cross, we wear that chain
That grows heavy with rhinestones of pain,
We allowed them to fashion chainlinks of every type
It's time to break the clasp, it is time for us to rise.

I have basically been hibernating all wknd from the abnormally cold MO temps here. Been living in my panda onesie and yes, lots of sleeping. When I am up, have been extremely active online, though. Been meeting new friends on a new site a fb friend introduced me to and actually communicating one on one w/ peeps via fb messenger, etc more than I have in a long time. I have had some mixed results, both good and bad, but feels good to put myself out there a little and socialize, even if only online for now. I highly recommend taking advantage of groups such as this and other online communities w/ common interests, especially if you don't get out and about a lot, for whatever reason or struggle w/ social anxiety or social disorders like AS, such as myself. I communicate much more effectively via writing, anyway! (Although I am extremely and fully verbal in person, too, don't get me wrong).
