Sitting here in a place a call home
thinking about who i am
and what i am suppose to do
Why am i here
what is my purpose
As i begin to dig deeper
i find answers although....
this answers aren't the ones
These answers hurt,,,they cut deep
they show the real me
the mean i always try to hide

I find a single tear had already.. fallen
I tried to hide my pain
I tried not to show it
I'm not strong enough
I don't want to be
Nor do i strive to be
I am me and that's all i ever want.

I always seem to be pushed away because i'm different then other people but i have found that if u just stay true to yourself you can find that past all of your differences you can be a pretty awesome person.

I love being different than people because instead of trying to be just better than them and trying to stick out i make my own way to stand out and people think im better cool because of it so welcome to my world i love being different and i dont plan to change for anyone
