Autism

Taking a moment to clear my mind I look around what is left to find Walking through this life Bringing on my own strife Who I once wished to be This old man I see Times I have pushed too far For that I carry my scar Been put down to my knees No one heard my pleas Prayed to the lord above Thanks to his love I gained the strength And went the length I've wobbled and fell But I hid it well No one could tell On I went My time I spent Depression that is within me I try and fight Concentrate on his light Answers that I don't know Faith that I show I'm but a child So mild Lost in a well That so long ago I fell Thinking no one can tell Sometimes lost in my own mind Life has not been kind But on I go Cause inside I know I'm really on my own That is what life has shown As this body has grown Faith for tomorrow I still seek this land of no sorrow Tears Fears Deep in my heart Keeping me apart My life This inner strife The pain Leaves this stain Autism , locked inside Where you can't hide With whom do you confide The Son He is the one The light In my minds forever night Helps me to see His love lifts me
