I Think in Color

Some people think in black and white

I think in shades from red to blue.

I’m autistic that makes me different, it’s true

But It doesn’t mean I’m better or worse than you.

I hold my head up with pride

and deal with life it’s a roller coaster ride.

It has its ups and downs and smiles and frowns.

Autistic people are people wherever they are found

We live in big cities and lots of small towns.

I think in lots of colors my laughter is sunset pink

With it I’m painting the world with love I think.

My smile brightens the day like the yellow sun

I bring warmth to people that’s second to none.

I love an orange day

It’s bright and happy and things go my way.

The humble blue of skies

Brings peace to the ocean of my mind.

It’s like the aquamarine sea

Flowing with brilliant creativity.

The serene of green takes away strife

Connecting me to earth and the beauty of life.

To the color purple I give a sweet nod

It is the color of majesty and the power of God.

This is my life and the rainbows it weaves

When we believe in ourselves then all can be achieved.
