Unique

I am unique.

I’m different, independent, my own person.

I’m unusual. I don’t change myself for others.

I want people to like me for the real me.

I have my own style, my own feelings,

I do things in unexpected ways.

I’m not like others, internally and externally.

I want to be me and not what people make me.

Some don’t like me because of these things.

They make fun of me, try to hurt me,

Just because they can’t understand me,

Don’t know me, and are upset,

Because they want to be unique like me,

But don’t know how to be anything but a clone of everyone else.
