Different

Different that's me.
Different that's all you see.
I'm not like you, I'm not the same.
You think I'm different you think I'm lame.
You don't know me and you don't care.
You think you see all that's there
You just stand there and ignore,
never realizing that there's more,
but wer'e really no different inside.
You can realize if you decide.
You can choose not to see,
but the truth is you're really no different than me.
