Why am I like this? I am like everyone else!
But you may feel that I am different from you,
You may feel that I can't be like you.
I may not be able to talk like you,
But I too have words to express,
I too have emotions to share.
I’m just missing something—unable to figure out how to handle it.
I may cry unexpectedly, but it doesn’t mean I’m sad.
I may scream loudly, but that doesn’t make me abnormal.
It’s all dark around me—I’m inside a circular maze.
I need you to give me your hand and help me find a way out.
I’m scared of something, but I don’t know what.
There’s always this strange fear with me—why is it so?
Why am I different from others?
I can do something too, but I need someone to show me
How to discover what I’m capable of.
I may look different from you. I may speak differently.
I may behave strangely. I may act unexpectedly.
But I am one of you—I just need your love.
I can do things too—just in a different way.
When you show me the path of light,
I begin to see things differently—I see a colorful world
Around me.
I can laugh from my heart. I can feel the love around me.
I am one of you, even if I seem different!
