Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song from the perspective of someone who has autism or another special challenge. It was based on my son with Autism and for all other people dealing with special needs issues in everyday life. They want to be treated the same as you and I.. and fit in to the pack... they try so hard - and some people make things very tough for them.

Lyrics
'Look At Me' - © Mark S. Ludes (MSL)
V.1
I guess I have to say I'm kind of shy.
Don't really know all the reasons why.
Sometimes I just can't look you in the eye. But, you need to understand, I try.
V.2
Sometimes you say hello and I don't speak.
I seem to hold those words inside of me.
You say I look around you or right through.
It's just something, for some reason, that I do. I just do.
Chorus:
There are times I realize, some things just aren't quite right.
I try to understand, and sometimes I think I might.
One thing you need to know, we're not all built the same.
But, I seem to find myself feeling, that I'm to blame. Am I to blame?
Bridge:
Sometimes I laugh out loud, seems for no reason at all.
Sometimes I start to cry, and I go hide behind my wall.
These meltdowns that I have, just might seem so strange to you.
But they're very real to me, 'cos they're something I go through.
V.3
So I wish that I could voice my every thought.
Help you understand some things I'm not.
I guess if we were built one and the same.
Then, if something's wrong, we 'd all share the blame.
Chorus:
So when you look at me, try to see just what I see.
And when you talk to me, try to hear just what I say.
And when you laugh at me, just do it when I'm funny.
Then, begin to understand, and see some things my way.
"Look at me......... (For what I am)
"Look at me......... (For who I am)
"Just look at me"...................
