I'm in Here

My mind is like a puzzle, trying to make all the pieces fit,
With so many things happening around me, it takes me more time to do my bit,

I am smart, kind and have a beautiful face,
But sometimes my mind needs just a little bit more space,

It's like trying to fit huge furniture into a small room,
And if there were smaller pieces, you would see that I would bloom,

I wish you could be in my head just for one day,
So you can hear what my heart really wants to say,

I want you to know I am aware of many things, so please do not fear,
Although my mind is like a puzzle, “I'm in here,”

So thank you for your dedication and labor of love,
You are angels for autism and blessed from up above!
