There’s the ghost of a girl I’ll never be Before I go, let go of the ghost Just let her disappear And then maybe you’ll see me While I’m still here I’m still here
The musical Kimberly Akimbo has been nominated for multiple Tony Awards. The show is about a 15 year old girl who has a rapid aging disease (it’s a fictitious condition.) She’s not autistic, but a message in one of her songs reminded me of what I’ve heard a lot of autistics say they feel. Kimberly asks her parents to acknowledge that she wasn’t the daughter they wanted. That their house is haunted by the ghost of the girl that they did want. Kimberly asks her parents to see her as she is.
Here are the full lyrics. Patti and Buddy are Kim’s parents. All three of them are quoting earlier songs of theirs in the last verses here.
