a strange individual with pink hair

	i think that even if i were to change,
nothing else would
	i think there will always be something
wrong with me
no matter how normal i look
	why should anyone recognize me anyway? my bright pink hair
doesn’t make me less dull
	i try to ignore the laughs, the stares, the outward thoughts of people thinking,
“what a weird *!”
	i really cannot blame them;
i think the same thing
	do these people really not care what anyone thinks of them?
	perhaps i am strange in the way that my brain allows me to 
still think with individuality
	i want to go home where everyone tells me they hate my stupid hair instead of
just staring at me until i figure it out
