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
