I know why I was running as fast as I could
I know why I still felt as though I wasn’t good
When everyone else understood what was said
While I was thinking what’s wrong with my head
The signs were all there
I wish I had known
I wish I had seen them
Each time they had shown
No I am not lazy
Nor am I dumb
I am not broken
And there’s no need to run.
Yes I still need them
To speak to me different,
I need things explained to me
Slowly, just need a second
My brain works differently
And I sense more than most
I hear the electricity
Louder than your voice when you talk
There’s no race that I’m running
So I can’t be behind
I do things my own way
that works for my mind
I’m different than them
But that’s nothing wrong
I’ve learned a lot about me
And who I’ve been all along
I am at peace now
I know where I belong
I’ve found others just like me
I’m not helpless after all
I am just me
And you are just you
And we are both different
Your needs are special too.
