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
