Abnormal

I'm not normal.
To some that may not mean much,
But for me, it means a lot
Because for a long time I been trying to find my place
When all I needed was a touch.

I'm not just different
In a sense of hobbies and special interest.
I'm talking neurologically and socially;
Other words I'm autistic.

Yes, I have Autism.
To some that may not be surprised,
But to those who don't know, here's my story.
From birth, the enemy told me lies.
That I was wasn't going be able to read, talk, eat nor write
But I'm able to defy those odds all because of Christ.

Growing up I always won
dered why I was so different from the other kids.
Why was so hard for me to tie a shoe,  write a sentence or make friends?
It's to show who God really is.

Many people try to down me and clown me because I have special needs
But I continue to press because I want people to see the light in me.
That's why I pray that God helps me to be my very best.

I tried to be normal and cool but it didn't work
I  always came short.
Now that I been redeemed I found my self-worth.

So what I'm not normal.
No one is if you wanna be technical
All my life I was told I was odd and impractical.
It's ok that I'm not normal because I want something more than just mediocre.
That's why I'm so Abnormal.
