Someone like you by Adele Someone like me (autistic community version) I thought I couldn’t be found On an ocean world, everyday I drowned I heard that I should be me I tried to be, but no one could see They ask, why are you so shy? But felt I had to hold back, hide from the light I couldn’t keep my heart hidden, it ignited But I couldn’t hide away, I couldn’t fight it I had hoped you’d see my face And that you’d be reminded that for me, it isn’t over Never thought, I’ll find someone like me Don’t want to mask and hide, now I’m free “Don’t lose me, “ I begged I remember you said “Here you are loved, even on the days it hurts in your head” “Sometimes I love life, but sometimes it hurts instead” You know how the time flies Yesterday was meant to be the start of our lives I was born and lose my life in a haze Bound by social chains in my “glory days” I couldn’t keep my heart hidden, it ignited But I couldn’t hide away, I couldn’t fight it I had hoped you’d see my face And that you’d be reminded that for me, it isn’t over Never thought, I’ll find someone like me Don’t want to mask and hide, now I’m free “Don’t lose me, “ I begged I remember you said “Here you are loved, even on the days it hurts in your head” Nothing compares, only worries no cares Regrets and mistakes, repeating memories made Who would have known how much pain I would taste? Never thought, I’ll find someone like me Don’t want to mask and hide, now I’m free “Don’t lose me, “ I begged I remember you said “Here you are loved, even on the days it hurts in your head” Never thought, I’ll find someone like me Don’t want to mask and hide, now I’m free “Don’t lose me, “ I begged I remember you said “Here you are loved, even on the days it hurts in your head” “Sometimes I love life, but sometimes it hurts instead” “Sometimes I love life, but sometimes it hurts instead” All my best and love Ross www.mylifeautistic.com Words – Ross A Fraser Listen/Sing Along – youtu.be/hLQl3WQQoQ0 Graphic Design App – Canva Rights – Adele #NewLifeAutistic

I used to think I was alone in this world, but I found hope, it took my friends, family and meeting people, meeting others like me. Acceptance ensures that every autistic child knows ... “There is someone like me” and never has to feel that bitter emptiness that I became accustom to.
