Locked Away

Time. Just so much time lost in the prison without Bars. The mind Wondering if anyone can hear me ,have I been left behind I reach out for an ear to listen , a heart that can still feel , Feel like I will never heal sometimes I'm alone. Like I'm in outer space looking down on an earth I just can't face So much hate and distrust running wild. Does anyone care any more Has everyone closed and locked that door Does any one else feel the empty of what life has shown Why am I alone? Just looking out the window at the moon so bright Looks as lonely as I feel tonight Life passes. Then your alone and old. Nothing but the memories your lives story being told They make for a bad show. Watching the sadness grow Life stories. Replayed in the mind The hero doesn't win the love and leave the pain behind and ride off into the sunset That is a chance he won't get Cause He is too broken to get back on the horse to ride . From life he starts to hide No hero. No life. Nobody around The heart breaks, without a sound All the love one can feel A heart wishes to heal No one to share that with. The passion never dies. As time flies Just stays locked inside No ear to confide Cause of being denied. Words are empty when there is no one there to care, no one in which to share Life passes by How time seems to fly Looking back there was words left unsaid The love was not fed Time passes leaving me behind Lost in the prison within my mind

Hey William, I think there's way more others out there on the spectrum of autism. You are definitely not alone in this. I do really enjoy your poems. Please do keep on writing.

Dear William, Most of us experience some horrific things in our lives. The best advise I was ever given was, "are you going to let this experience define who you are or are you going to move on with your life". I chose to move on and I pray you will too. The present is all that is certain. God Bless
