The unseen

Walking through this world, feeling so alone In the shadows, where the light's not shown They see the label, but not my heart Misunderstood right from the start Unseen, like a whisper in the wind Fighting battles they can't comprehend Unseen, but my heart's still strong Searching for a place where I belong They don't see the tears I hide The strength it takes to stay alive In this world I long to be Love for whom I am just me Each step I take they turn away In the silence I find my way Autism's part of who I am Not the whole, just a single strand They don't see the tears I hide The strength it takes to stay alive In this world I long to be Love for whom I am just me In the darkness I find my light In the struggle I find my way Through the pain I rise above In the end I'll find my love I won't give up, I won't back down In this journey I'll stand my ground For every heart that's felt this pain We'll find our place, we'll break these chains They don't see the tears I hide The strength it takes to stay alive In this world I long to be Love for whom I am just me Unseen, but I know I'm strong In my heart I find my song One day soon they'll finally see The beauty of who I am, just me
