我奇奇 我怪怪 I'm Odd, I'm new

十歲自閉症男孩，班傑明所寫的詩 Poem written by Benjamin Giroux

I am odd, I am new.   我奇奇，我怪怪

I wonder if you are too.  我想著 是否你也一樣怪

I hear voices in the air.  我聽見 空氣裡的細語呢喃

I see you don't, and that's not fair.  我看見 你沒聽見，那好不公平

I want to not feel blue.  我好想 能夠不難過

I am odd, I am new.  我奇奇，我怪怪

I pretend that you are too.  我假裝 其實你也一樣怪

I feel like a boy in outer space.  我感覺 像是外太空裡的小男孩

I touch the stars and feel out of place.  輕輕觸碰著星星，感覺彼此零距離

I worry what others might think.  我焦慮 人們看待我的想法

I cry when people laugh, it makes me shrink.  當人們的笑聲似起，我也隨之哭泣，那令我退避

I am odd, I am new.  我奇奇，我怪怪

I understand now that so are you. 我現在 明白你也一樣怪

I say I, “feel like a castaway”.  我說我，"感覺好似沒人要的小孩"

I dream of a day that that’s okay.  夢想著 有那麼一天，一個什麼都好的一天

I try to fit in.  我試著 跟人們打成一片

I hope that someday I do.  愿我真的能做到，愿真的能有那一天

I am odd, I am new.  我奇奇，我怪怪
