    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!

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