*Different

Different

I feel one thing, but my mind tells me to do another

I want to keep going, but I need to give up

All that I've ever known is against me,

All that I've ever loved has left me

Everyone that cared were pretending

Everyone that looked my way were looking through transparent glass

I was nothing

I was never truly there

It's the price you pay to be different

You become your own person, not a predestined robot

You do something that satisfies you and not others

To be different surely means you're going to get hurt

You're trapped in your routine

Nowhere to go

Every crevice, crack, and hole is occupied

There's no room to be bigger, sharper, or more dull

You follow a stereotype, or you get hurt

You listen, which I don't

Look where it has gotten me, I am hurt

What am I to do?

I'll be different

I'll leave this place

Go somewhere happy, different

I'll be the odd one

I'll do what no one else thinks I'll do...

The least expected...

And I'll do it differently...

With a smile on my face
