autism, Disability

I remember

I remember when you left me behind
you said to leave me while I was screaming
you didn’t understand how hard it was for me
the world was too loud too bright
I didn’t want to be in it but you said I was just causing trouble
you never cared what was wrong with me it was always how much I was hurting you
but I was the one hurting I was in pain trying to make you happy
I needed you to see me but you couldn’t ever see me
you never got to know me and you never will
what is it like to have a family? I will never know I will never have one
you took it all from me
but I’m free now and I can tell everything
you thought I would never be able to communicate
how wrong you were you never gave me the chance to learn
you wouldn’t know me now I can speak my mind
isn’t it amazing what the right support can do?
if only you had believed in me like they do now
I’m full of words you will never hear
I will tell everything you did to me and someone will hear me someone will hear
