I'm not like you,
But it's all ok!
There's a lot I go through,
But I still smile everyday.

You might think I'm weird,
But that's not right.
The sirens hurt my ears,
And I get mad if it's too bright.

I can't help it,
It's not easy you know.
I'm autistic,
I try not to put on a show.

I wish you could see,
When I'm being bad.
I don't feel like me,
I'm not trying to make you mad.

I  just don't want to cry.
But I get overwhelmed.
Can't you see how hard I try?
The light will be found.
