I Didnt Understand
I wasn’t ever the normal kid
I sat with people I didn’t know
I was very open and friendly
I was the smart kid
I chose to study instead of play
And one day my parents told me to be like everyone else
I didn’t understand what they meant
So I became normal and dull
I sat with no one
I was quiet and boring
I was the dumb kid
I chose to play instead of study
And one day my parents told me to go back to myself
I didn’t understand what they meant
And had forgotten what I was
