“When I was Younger…
A Poem
February 10, 2017
When I was younger, I was a ball of fire
Random and testy
People stayed away from me
As if I was a pyre
I didn’t understand anything at all
Didn’t comprehend the laws
So I apologize for my flaws
That I had when I was not as tall
I’m sorry for acting awkward, rambling about
For snapping at you like cut strings
And repeating the same things
And getting frustrated when the wrong words come out
I have a bug in my brain
Named Aspergers he squirms about
Digging into my psyche with his pointed snout
And over the years, caused me pain
I’m sorry for all my faults
But now I’ve matured
Over a summer without word
I grew into a different person and I like the results
The old me is gone
And I am here to stay
And now I say
This is the new Sean
