May Be Different

~It's alright darling just breathe.~

I see the way people look at me

Ignoring my presence

They see I may be nothing like them

So, they move on with their lives

Not giving me a nice hello

Or even a goodbye

Feeling so invisible

Some days, I wish I could scream and shout

Show them what I'm all about 

But I know I can't until the day comes

The day I finally decide 

To free the other half of me from inside

'Cause it hurts so much to feel this way everyday 

I want to show them 

But I just can't

It's not me

It's not me

It's not me

I wish every day it could be that way

But it never will be

I've been trying so hard since I decided to try to find myself

When will people actually see me?

When will people actually want to get to know me?

Sure, I have friends...

But do they really know what I go through every day?

And even if they did...

Would they really understand?

I fight this internal battle with myself

Never feeling like I'm ever going to win

Maybe I'm going insane 

No, that can't be it

I would have screamed 

People walk by me without a glance 

I know I'm complaining about how they don't see me

People say I need to try on my own 

What am I supposed to do?

I'm shy dontcha know?

I'm that weird quiet girl in the corner

Why can't they understand 

I'm not like them

But maybe

Just one day I will open up

Maybe I'll explode

Who knows?

I'll I know is that

I'm the shy girl

I can't help it

I've been different my whole life

Can't you see it?

But maybe if you actually came around to know this girl

You'll notice I'm not that different from you after all

And if I am

Deal with it

'Cause if you judge me for who I am

Then you'll be missing out 

I just hope you stay around long enough 

Too understand that I may be different

But I'm still a living, breathing person

So Deal With It

Shine Always, JJ
