Coded Senses

paper cuts of the mind

slow thought eclipses 

the sunlight behind your eyes,

those with ADHD focus perfectly

on 72 things at once 

mistakenly labelled a dunce, 

the autistic relate 

through coded senses,

lights

colours

sounds

are relentless,

the dyslexic write so beautifully

about their life experiences

with zero spelling mistakes,

the revolutionary 

will never reach us

when censorship of the instincts

are hindered through 

botched teachings,

the educators are bleeding

the youth through captured beliefs,

how can you reach your full potential

when you’re being taught 

by the equivalent of a blunt pencil?

how can you master human behaviour 

when your teachers are as sharp as a pencil eraser?
