Between Spectrums

Reading Up Instead of Down

Here's a poem I would like you to read.

Today was the absolute worst day ever

And don't try to convince me that

There's something good in every day

Because, when you take a closer look,

This world is pretty evil place

Even if

Some goodness does shine through once in a while

Satisfaction and happiness don't last

And it's not true that

It's all in the mind and heart

Because 

True happiness can be obtained

Only if one's surroundings are good

It's not true that good exists

I'm sure you can agree that

The reality

Creates

My attitude

It's all beyond my control

And you'll never in a million years hear me say that 

Today is a good day

Sounds depressing right? Sounds like there is no hope in this world. But wait! Let's see what it says backwards.

Today is a good day

And you'll never in a million years hear me say that

It's beyond my control

My attitude

Creates 

The reality

I'm sure you can agree that

It's not true that good exists

Only if one's surrounding are good

True happiness can be obtained

Because 

It's all in the mind and heart

And it's not true that

Satisfaction and happiness don't last

Some goodness does shine through once in a while

Even if

This world is a pretty evil place

Because, when you take a closer look,

There's something good in every day

And don't try to convince me that 

Today was the absolute worst day ever

Who ever the fourteen year old writer is, this poem gives us a unique look on life. Like choosing to read the poem up or down, we can choose to be happy or we can choose to be sad. Living with autism, Aspergers, or just having traits of either can be tough and there will be times when you just want to give up but you can continue to press forward with confidence and faith that things get better. Autism is nothing to feel bad about. You can look at it as something that makes you awesome. I mean how many regular people can do what you can do? You may not be what other's consider normal but in reality, there is no such thing as normal because we all act different. So don't ever think that autism is what makes your life miserable but look to the bright side of things and be sure that your life is the poem going up instead of down.

Thank you for you time
