As I Am
April 22, 2021
You call me crazy, you say I’m weird
How about we get this cleared?
You go act on your cliché
I’ll live my life my own lone way
I think that it’s a boring game
When everyone tries to be the same
Like, am I really such a freak
When my only crime is being unique?
I’d rather go down this path alone
Than spend my days as someone’s clone
And if my indifference drives you mad
Well, I guess that’s just too bad
“Normal” may have strict regulations
But I won’t follow your expectations
So why don’t we all just agree
That you can do you, and I can do me

Being a "weird kid" isn't all that bad. Who wants to have the exact same opinion as someone else for everything? Being unique is a wonderful thing. Only by being unique can you do big things.
