born with an extra gene

I was born with an extra gene
I cannot be around people mean
I will run faster than anyone
from negativity, or a lack of fun

grumps and gripers get out of my way
my extra gene will not allow me to stay
this gene hits me hard inside my head
angry people make my heart turn red

naysayers annoy me, I quickly flee
I cannot stand unkindness or rudeness to me
I was born with an extra gene
I cannot be around people mean
