The mermaid (written composition)

Hii!! 

I wanted to express my feelings being a neurodivergent teenager in a neurotypical environment. I figured some people might like to read it. Hope u like it, but if u don’t please keep it to urself :) 

(Btw i know it’s not rhyming all the time that’s why i’m not calling it a poem)

I always feel as if I was a mermaid

Sailors cut my tail and gave me legs

With no explanation whatsoever

They just threw me in the human world

Tho i try to get used to having knees

I’m aware im not where i should be

And as much as i try to get over it

People dont help me and i stay stranded

The customs are weird around these parts

I dont think i’ll get them any soon

Every night i yell at the moon

For cursing me with the power to walk

I try and try and try again to blend in the crowd

And i wish every day for a drought

But no amount of water can drown

The feeling of being halfway down
