she was nothing like them

she wasn't like the others

she didn't have a bunch of friends

she didn't go out partying

she wasn't stick thin

she wasn't athletic

she didn't have an amazing voice

and she didn't play an instrument

she was different from the others

she was quiet

but she could be loud too

she always wore a smile

but she often seemed down

she was good in school

but not as smart as everyone thought

she was nothing like the others

she had scars

and she didn't tell anybody about them

she fought a daily battle

against herself

and she rarely won

but she smiled

she acted like she was okay

and they believed her

because she was nothing like them
