Take a read below of a poem, written by Nicola James:
Neurodiversity spice
I wish I could hear the beats in words
I wish I could proof read every verse
I wish I could easily get an A grade
Instead of having my work covered with shade
I wish I could stand tall and proud
Instead of day dreaming in the clouds
No one really knows my creativity
Because intelligence is measured by a system ladened in educational bureaucracy
If only I could draw mind-maps in exams
And submit drawings and creative plans
Rather than having to follow this linear prose
Which causes me to get lost and struggle to compose
I feel so much shame
That I am not the same
As the so called intelligent kids
Who write an essay in a night
Without having to really fight
To get those words into their head
As one struggles to carry on but one’s brain is dead
Dead of trying to work in a way that does not naturally suit
This mind of inspiration hungry so hungry for a creative pursuit
Physical, kinaesthetic, visual that’s the tickets
Chatting, debating dreaming and being ready to score that wicket
I am going to show them, they will see,
That once I step out into this big wide world in front of me
I will design a life and a system of success that aligns with the way I naturally like to be
It might be hard and require courage
But I have buckets loads of that
After being told constantly that I will never make it out of school fully intact
Like the kids who get the A’s
And all of that praise
Please remember everyone has a gift
and they might not all be the same
But praising individuality will keep them on their game
Helping the world to embrace talent
So we don’t end up all programmed the same
