I'm the spark that never settles, thoughts that race beyond the track

I'm the pattern in the chaos, coded lines that won't look back

I'm the mask that's finally slipping, face beneath the social glass

I'm the quiet kind of feeling that the words just can't surpass

We were told we were too much, too strange, too wrong to win

But every "defect" is a compass to the storm within

If you map our different circuits, all the roads that look misdrawn

You will see a constellation where the lost ones all belong

We are the storm within, not broken, only bright

Flashes in the blackout, thunder learning how to write

If the world can't understand the ways we feel and cope and mend

We will build a softer future where our wiring doesn't end

I'm the heart that needs the quiet when the speakers pierce the bone

I'm the yes behind the silence when I shake at every phone

I'm the misread test and misfit that sees sideways through the text

I'm the shaking hand that still reaches for the future from the wrecks

I'm the haunted thought collector who refuses to give in

All our jagged, different pathways form a single field within

We won't beg for lesser storms or smaller, safer skies

We'll demand a world that listens when our nervous systems rise

If you love us, love our needs, not some version in your head

Stand beside us in the lightning, not just when the clouds have fled

We are the storm within, not broken, only bright

Flashes in the blackout, thunder learning how to write

If the world can't understand the ways we feel and cope and mend

We will build a softer future where our wiring doesn't end

We are not too much

We are not too strange

We deserve a love

That will meet us as we change

Storm within (storm within)

Let it spin (let it spin)

No more shrinking down to fit your narrow frame

Our neurodivergent fires will burn and we won't be ashamed

We are the storm within, a choir of different minds

Crashing into midnight, drawing new horizon lines

If you stand with us in thunder, if you listen through the din

You'll find home inside the tempest, in the beauty of the storm within
