We Are The Stars

In the name of Autism  
We were seen  
As an incomplete jigsaw  
 
Missing pieces  
To a puzzle  
They sought to solve  
 
Coming into the light  
Like butterflies  
Our beauty is our difference  
 
Each colour  
Paints our picture  
On the canvas of life  
 
We talk about it  
In whispers  
Hide ourselves  
 
Our footprints  
Are there in the sand  
For all too see  
 
Let us fly  
We will show you  
A world you haven’t seen  
 
Forget the rhetoric about us  
The graffiti bullet points  
We are so much more  
 
For if you look at the dark  
Of the universe as normal
We are the stars
