Because I'm different @ItsLotiNambombe

They hate on me because I'm different

I laugh at them because they're the same

I used to cry myself to sleep and think i was insane

Now I sleep peacefully

And think of what I'll say carefully

I used to be upset at being different

Now I smile because they're the same

Different means unique, funny and not the same

Not perfection just different ways

Of expressing myself

I'm unique and

Sometimes I'm full of myself

From the brink to the top

I know why my journey wont stop

Because I'm different

My aim in life is to always be me

Whether people like it or lump it

I am free

From stereotypes about how I should be

Because I'm different

I try harder to achieve

All because I want to believe

That I'm a lion

That doesn't concern himself

With the opinion of a sheep

I've always struggled to be seen

For what I really am

Because I'm different

Isolation taught me that you

Can be anything you want if you're persistent

Nothing can stop your mind

If all the badness you leave behind

Your life will change

Even if it becomes a bit strange

Train your brain

To maintain positive energy

And give you all the best of me

Even through the tough times

I'll continue to write rhymes

To bring humanity smiles

Because I'm different
