You Are My Rainbow

I live in a world of my own
Away from noise, crowd, and confusion
I understand your comfort is all gone
When normal me is just your illusion

What I feel I may not show
How to communicate I may not know
That’s the time I need you to help me follow
That others of my age learnt a long time ago

I may throw tantrums at you
People won’t understand when they view
That’s the time I want to be hugged by you
as I am one among the chosen few

I can’t make friends and socialize
As I make havoc and stammer
However, it is such a surprise
When for me, you abandon all your life’s glamor

As life seems jumbled-up pieces of puzzle
The news of my autism runs rife
With you, easier becomes my struggle
As I decode the colors of life
