I Am......Poetry Slam

Jeremiah Cruz                                                  

I Am

I am…… I am the one

Who is a brother, a friend, and a son

Who has Asperger’s Syndrome and is high functioning

and after years of fighting, has finally won

I am…… I am the one

Who calls himself grateful

Because not many can grow out of it

Because their hands are too full

I am……. I am the one

Who knows how it feels

To stem, to drift,

To anger, to reel

I am……. I am the one

Who didn’t fit in

Who did doubt, and was doubted from the beginning

If I could ever win
