Nerd and Geek Makes Me Unique

Geek is such a simple word Through my life I've always heard By so called family and friends Who always seemed to break and bend Me in so many directions I just wanted their attention To say I felt inside But too often stubborn pride Kept emotions held way down So I would just wait around Hearing things about how I Was so fragile and would cry When they told me how I need To loosen up and be free Take a drink once in a while But that was no in my style To use booze for having fun I'm me, not like everyone Who think they need to follow Others, but it leaves them hollow Acting different than they are Will not get them very far Because their real identity Isn't what is being seen So I'd rather be a nerd And have my true self be heard Even though I'm getting pressure I will be my own great treasure Sticking to not doing things Drugs, alcohol, and smoking Are three vices I won't do Seeing what others went through In my life and I will not Take away what's in my heart And keep a promise that I made Never to make those same mistakes
