THE TEARS I USE TO CRY
I'm wiping the tears that I use to cry
When I thought my life was over
And all I wanted to do
was crawl up in a ball and die
The pressures of life weighed me down
The chaos, the confusion, the fear
The tantrums, the meltdowns, the tears
That became my living nightmare
When I felt the walls closing in
And I thought I'd reached the end of rope
I stepped out of the darkness
And found a ray of hope
I realized that the line between love and hate is very thin
So I dried my tears and grew another layer of skin
I learned the true meaning of unconditional love
I found the courage to relinquish control
Then the puzzle came together
and my life became whole
I realized that my blessing
Was hidden in my curse
For life is a journey
No time to rehearse
The role I play
All depends on what I think and say
So I'll speak love, I'll speak hope, I'll speak life
I never knew how strong I was
until being strong was the only choice I had
Though I'm only one voice in a million
I choose or maybe I was chosen to be
The one to tell my Autism story
Thai-lee's Life Through My Eyes
My purpose, very clear
My aim, to make a change
To expel the stigma
So it no long seem so strange
For when it's all said and done
My Love For Autism is not just about my son
So I'll wipe the tears that I use to cry
Stand my ground
And keep my head held high
