I'm not pretty,
I'm not beautiful,
I'm not gorgeous nor cute.
But I've always found myself different,
Different from the rest.

I don't always like the same music,
Or have the same taste,
I don't always think of what I'll do tomorrow,
Because I know I may not even have tomorrow.

The Lion King wasn't always my favorite movie,
Not at all.
I usually preferred Robin Hood ,
Or my real favorite, Mulan

I write in composition books,
About my sadness and grief,
But I wanted to tell you today,
That I may be something I'm not.

I may not have blonde hair,
People tell me it's light brown.
I may not have blue eyes,
They have an odd tint of gold in them.
And I may not be who I say I am.
Or am I?
I can say that because even I don't know who I am,
But for now, I think I'll enjoy the moment of letting myself be, just a little

Different.
I think I am just a bit, little, tad bit different

Honestly that's just the best word to describe me at times.
I'm different from everyone else, in a good or bad way- I don't know. I've always been somehow older then everyone else, mentally and a bit physically.
I remember talking in the locker room, just before P.E. and one girl in a different row asked, "Is there a guy in here?"
When she saw me she only then realized it was me then asked me if I was in her grade, I said no.
Since sixth grade, I could always be mistaken as a sophomore or freshman. But I wasn't.
Seventh grade- "Can't I just skip eighth grade and go straight to ninth?"
I always fit in better with them, along with my friends who were older than me, but I loved them like I grew up with them since we were in diapers.
Sixth Grade- Year of despair, laughs and tears. Not a good year in general. Okay, that's all my years.
"Why can't I be at least a little bit less different?"


But really, I now think it's my calling to be different.
And I sort of like it, I do.
Because now, I'm fairly happy, and I can hope that happiness lasts at least a year. If not, I'll get back up and try again. :heart:

 In this case normality is a standard based on the general intrests of the majority of an age group in a population
But everyone is a bit DIFFRENT from everyone else so the true standard of normality should be diffrence
