An Autistic Boy's Song of Hope and Pain

Lyrics:

I speak in colors no one sees,
In a world that moves without me.
I reach for hands that let me go,
You walked away, but I still know.
I have stories I want to share,
But no one stays to hear or care.
They say I’m hard to understand,
So, they leave me where I stand.
Where did you go, the ones I need?
I’m right here, can’t you see?
You think I don’t notice; you think I don’t feel,
But I live in a world that’s painfully real.
I’m the forgotten boy in a crowded room,
But I still bloom, I still bloom.
You call me quiet, say I’m strange,
But you don’t know how much I change.
I see stars when the world turns gray,
I dance through storms in my own way.
I reach out, hoping you’ll stay,
But you just fade away.
Left behind in this endless race,
Trying to find my place.
Where did you go, the ones I need?
I’m right here, can’t you see?
You think I don’t notice; you think I don’t feel,
But I live in a world that’s painfully real.
I’m the forgotten boy in a crowded room,
But I still bloom, I still bloom.
Inside, I’m shining bright as the stars,
But outside, I bear all these scars.
You don’t know the dreams I hide,
Locked away, deep inside.
One day, you’ll hear me loud and clear,
One day, I’ll break through this fear.
Where did you go, the ones I need?
I’m right here, can’t you see?
You think I don’t notice; you think I don’t feel,
But I live in a world that’s painfully real.
I’m the forgotten boy in a crowded room,
But I still bloom, I still bloom.
If you hear me calling, if you see me cry,
Know I’m still here, I’m reaching high.
I’m the forgotten boy, but I’m learning to fly,
And I’ll rise again, I’ll rise again… up to the sky
