I Am Like You

I am like you.

People say I'm different,

But, I am similar.

People say I'm unwanted, 

Uneeded, and need to leave.

But, I'm wanted,

Needed, and am not leaving.

I'm not like you,

I see that now.

You are mean

And I am nice.

We are not the same,

And I hope THAT stays the same.
