Differently Made
I feel like I don't belong
like I was gentically made wrong
when I look in peoples eyes
they look away and disguise
how they see me
I want to be free
of the lables
where you sit at certain tables
I feel pushed away
and each passing day
I want to just turn and go
go where no one will know
who I am and begin again
but I stay and live with my sin
but I know I've made a change
but I'm not the same
but that doesn't change what I did
what I hid
I can remember it all
and so do they but I still stand tall
like a wall of stone
I walk with a straight back bone
I don't look down unless I must
I go through life with a lust
to be more than what I am
I try not to give a damn
about what they think of me
because they'll never truly see
what I am
