Wow! I never realised it was about autism but it makes perfect sense! "A melody unsung" is such a beautiful though sorrwful line. Brilliant!

Oh Holly, this is incredibly heartbreaking!

"Just living his life
caught within the black
as autism continues
to wager it's attack"
^^^ Powerful words, so sad. But written so beautifully.. Excellent poem!

Absolutely wonderful penned, though sad but well written...holly well done!

These lines:
Unable to express
these feelings deep inside
Haunted by the silence
damaging his pride

amazing. soo good. nice job!

Moving, touching and soul stirring. the optimism and prayer in the end makes this piece truly stand out.

good luck, prayers and peace
