The Sound of Silence

Different

I'm not like,

the girls you know;

I don't go to the spa,

or polish my toes.

I'd rather play games,

like Fortnite or Fable;

Than sit with a man,

at a dining table.

You don't have to,

buy me flowers;

I'd rather you take me,

to the park after hours.

I might not spend,

all your money on my looks;

But I'll certainly spend it,

on a handful of books.

I don't really care,

what guys think of me;

I'd rather my soul,

be the thing that people see.

I don't dress in tight pants,

or even tight shirts,

Why would I want to wear,

something that hurts?

I'm different,

you'll see;

I'm not like anyone else,

I'm just me.
