My Brother's Autism
By Spencer F.
From where I stand locked in my walled off mind
Inside my head I can't seem to break free
I try to speak but my voice I can't find
I wish I could show what I feel inside of me
I understand though I do no show it
Knowledge, I have, can not be seen by you
I just wish I could say I know it
Ev'n though I need help to tie my own shoe
But don't despair my life is full of light
Though I have my times of anger and strife
Ev'n when at time I yell and scream and fight
You are the light that brightens up my life
This much that I am able to confess
This much upon you I want to impress.
