I'M Different From You

I'm different from you
you won't understand why
you dont even see it
but knowing it makes me cry

I'm different from you
you ask what i mean
I tell you you're normal
a statement to you, obscene

I'm different from you
I feel lowly and ashamed
you ask how can that be
it's the result when you hold the blame

I'm different from you
hurt, alone and feelings of guilt
over nothing i've done
but a tower around me it's built

I'm different from you
how lucky for you I see
if you stood where I  came from
you'd think different of me

I'm different from you
so the real me hides
I must guess at what's normal
and act so then the fear in me subsides

I'm different from you 
my story would make you doubt
simple humanity for one thing
and why this you never knew about

I'm different from you
right from the gate 
my life was changed 
it was already too late.
