Thread: Black and White Empathy
#Autism #AutismAcceptance #autistic

People argue over the fact whether I have empathy or not.

Some people say I'm the most they've ever seen

Some people say I haven't got a drop

The fact is they're both right

Yep I have some for you You're going to get it all, you're going to see the brightest white light

If I don't have any for you, you will find yourself in the darkest coldest night

When people get empathy for me they tell me I'm the sweetest and they wouldn't believe that I could be the coldest as well

When people don't get everything from me they can't believe that I even have any

How could this be?

It's part of my great logical mind that's black and white It's true or false I like you or I don't

I try to see the gray but I've never actually seen it I just have to believe it's there try not to be so polarized

Again I just have to believe cuz I've never seen the grey

Try to be polite and not be so harsh but people feel it anyway

I try not to be too woman and come on too strong but people feel it anyway

And they wouldn't accept my white lies even though I'm trying to be nice

they're expecting from other people

why don't they accept mine
