I was forced to repeat Preschool
Because I was behind
I was forced to speak
Because I didn’t know how
I was forced to go to school
Because society said so
I was forced see a psychiatrist
For reasons I didn’t know
I was forced to Change school
Because the former wanted me to fail
I was forced to Learn
But I couldn’t understand
I was forced to change school again
But they couldn’t teach me
I was forced to repeat the fourth grade
Because I had to change schools
I was forced to go to Virginia
Because they could help
I was forced to stay an extra year
Because I wasn’t ready
I was forced to go to Connecticut
Because I had to graduate
I was forced to go to college
Because I got in
I was forced
For 18 years to read and write
I’m used to be forced but now I have a choice
To think and speak the way I chose

Do you know I cry myself to sleep at night?
Wondering when will be the next time you’ll talk to me
I cry myself to sleep at night
When I see you’re on Facebook
But you wont talk to me for some reason
I cry myself to sleep sometimes
Wondering that you found someone else
And you would rather be with her
Because I can’t be there with you
I cry myself to sleep sometimes
Because I’m crazy in love with you
And you wont talk to me for weeks at a time
The only thing I can do right now
Is cry my self to sleep
Hoping one day you’ll see the pain I’m in,
The constant heartache I feel all the time.
All I can do is cry myself to sleep
Thinking about you and only you
Please tell me what you want me to do
Because all I can do is cry
Over you

I am different
So are you
You can read
Better than I can
But I see
The world differently
Call me dumb
Call me stupid
But I know they are not true
For I am smarter than you
I might flip my letters
From time to time
Heck even my numbers to
But that is not my fault
It just happened
There is no easy way
To explain what I mean
Other then looking it up
But it’s even harder
To explain the challenges
That I have to face every day
Even for the rest of my life
You see me different
You see me strange
And call me names
I see you the same way
I find you odd
I find you mean
I also see you ignorant
For not taking the time
To appreciate me
Once you decide
To open your eyes
And see what I see
Only then will you
Understand me
