My heart is big and all I want is love in return.

I sing a song of happiness and sorrow.
You can't hear my song because you don't understand.
You can't hear the sounds I hear
You can't see the things I see
You can't smell the things I can
I may be silenced and I may not look at you in the eye
but I'm teaching you something no one else can
Hiding my voice deep in my mind
I become lost and scared.
And I don't know how to come back out
So now in silence I cry
Now in silence I laugh with myself
Now in silence I tell you secrets you can't hear
and now in silence I wait for this horrible thing to be cured.
I am autistic and I don't know why.
But I'm still a person.
I'm still just like you.
