Why Do You Care If I Am Different
Why do you care if I am different?
Why does the stranger have to be strange?
For what you don't understand is not abhorrent.
And those in the grey need not to change.
Was the leopard shunned for showing his spot?
Or the eagle silenced for his cry?
Let a wise man tell you they were not.
Yet on a standard we rely.
So turn your face away from the idols!
And take a moment just to see
The beauty in the shades of grey.
And leave me to my peculiar reality.
