Autistic
You may not understand me or the things I do,
and you may not understand why I don't look at you.
You keep telling me I'm playing with my toys wrong,
and you don't know why I only sing one song.
You want me to go out and play with the other boys,
but it scares me when they make that loud noise.
You don't understand why I am different from the rest,
but everyday for me is another test.
I'm sorry my hand doesn't work that way,
you'll get how special I am one day.
My brain is different in the way I think,
but my ship isn't going to sink.
Even though I'm different, I can still cry,
so it hurts when you ask god why?
You just need to pay a little more attention
to this little boy playing in his own dimension.
