Caution Caution
Caution Caution
Be aware be alert
Dirty words and looks that hurt
My mom and sister taught me well
But people react to me as if they fail
Open your eyes and take a good look
Disabilities go beyond the cover of a book
on the outside I look like a healthy teenage boy
but my actions and words that bring me joy
make you look annoyed and distraught
because the way the Lord made me is different from what you were taught
So caution caution
Be aware be alert
The next time you see me open your mind and also your heart
I know I am different
That's what sets me apart
Please try to understand and try not to hurt
Caution Caution
Be aware be alert
