This Is Me
I am just like you,
I can take the things I do.
And learn from them the best I can,
Make a difference with who I am.
You might be slow and I might be fast,
We don’t need to concentrate who is first or last.
You might be smart and I may be not,
So who cares about that we still have a lot.
Sometimes when we talk I don’t look in your eyes,
I might just forget so don’t be surprised.
If I don’t speak at all please try to wait,
I find it hard especially on a date.
It’s hard to sit still when your brain is telling you not to,
I start moving around it's just what I do.
There’s a lot to say about touch,
Sometimes even my clothes feel too much.
If I think the light is shining too bright,
Or even if the noise isn’t right.
If it smells awful and tastes real bad,
And anything touching makes my head mad.
It’s a terrible time for you and me,
But it passes so quickly and soon we will see.
That it’s over and done with and better at last,
It was just a quick moment now gone in the past.
Someday I hope I find the key,
To find the missing piece hidden deep within me.
