wrote a poem about growing up autistic without knowing it,,,, it’s messy but so was the experience lol

Prideful life all in vain, I could not understand my pain

I was mountain I was tree, Immovable as could be

I found happiness here and there, and many people for which to care

My whole life I could not see, What it was inside of me

Many problems it did cause, My head was like a broken vase

Everything I said didn't make sense, I found no bliss in ignorance

Then one day I felt a prick, That made me know where to click

I found love and community, Many people just like me,

Who shared their pieces and helped me see, What it was what it was to be me

Many of my problems they did solve, They helped me to evolve

They glued the fractures and sealed cracks, I wish there was a way I could pay them back

Slowly I begin to see we, are one you and me,

So to pay those that changed my life, I will help others who face strife

Hopefully I will help them see, What it means to be we and free

I could not have done that with an entire day as I woke up this morning. I'm beginning to debate getting checked for a tumor. Talking to people on here seems like it is changing my brain chemistry. Is it possible to get overwhelmed with good stuff and it being a good thing? There is no way right? It has to be a tumor.
