An empty Gaze

Hold my hand

Hold my smile

I look with an empty gaze

When I show emotion

You are amazed

Walking around trying to make sense of it all

Not been able to interact at all

I look away

Not able to look your way

Left alone

I will soon come along

Show me

Encourage me

I will eventually get there

Time will need patience

Patience will need time

No loud noises

You help me climb

My biggest mountains

Obstacles in my way

You help me through my struggle

Every other day

Show me what comes next

Teach me all you know

Point it out over and over again

Until I surely know

I need to know what comes next

Or I get confused

I want you to make it alright

I may blow like a fuse

Frustrating are my thoughts

They don’t go away

Just get better with time

You were told I wouldn’t do anything

Never accomplish anything new

But you never gave up on me

You taught me all you knew

There was no name on what I have

At that time you see

People thought I was some kind

Of weirdo maybe

You pushed and found the help

Eventually it was given a name

It didn’t matter to you

For you loved me all the same

I now live and am slowly coming along

I know I would not be as advanced

But you made me strong

Pushed me others wouldn’t

Treated me just the same

Knowing that you were my inspiration

We both share the same name
