Being Different

             

They laugh at me because I'm different;

I laugh at them because they're all the same.

They laugh at me because I like reading;

I laugh at them because they like trashy reality shows.

They laugh at me because I'm a brunette;

I laugh at them because they're all blondes.

They laugh at the way I walk;

I laugh at the way they whisper.

They laugh at my lisp

I laugh at their lips.

They call me slow and retarded;

I call them ignorant and misguided;

They tease me, but I see the truth.

They see my weight in numbers;

I see my curves in beauty.

They see my height as short,

I see my height as 

A beautiful flower

One that didn't need

 to take long to grow.

They see the world one way,

I see it another

They see silicon and Botox

I see Barbie dolls multiplying everywhere.

They see their own kind

I see fake and impressionable minds

They see Beiber as a god

I see him as a fool with money.

They say money is power,

I say money is evil.

They say ignorance is bliss

I say ignorance is blind.

They say different is wrong;

I see different as strong

Because I'd rather be myself,

Than be like all the blonde silicon Barbie dolls who judge different.
