How could they be so cruel?
He's only a little boy.
How can they treat him
like a broken little toy?
He doesnt understand you!
How dare you scream!
He's trying his hardest,
it's just harder than it seems.
"Darling, please be good."
Is all you need to say.
All it takes is a kind smile
and he'll obey.
"Sit quitely, please."
And he'll happily oblige.
"SIT DOWN NOW!"
and all he'll do is cry.
You're his sister.
How can you not understand!
He's just needs some help,
someone to hold his hand.
You need to stop yelling!
I hate seeing him cry!
Every time you scream
a part of me dies.
He's such a sweet little boy.
Perfect as can be.
Autism might make him different,
but it makes him specail to me.

A poem from the heart
As a person having Asperger's Syndrome, I felt like the boy in this poem. Teachers yelled at me. I was called stupid, and the teacher's neglect to intervene made it worse than it should've been. People are cruel in the world, and I believe the poem puts that message strongly. We should treat autistic people like a friend, not a burden.
I like the rhyme scheme of this poem; it makes the poem have that flavor of a plea. The only thing I found wrong was when you misspelled special. No biggie though since it was a typo. Other than that, good job, and I can't wait to read your other poems.
