Stubborn people...

If you're stubborn like me you can relate.

We don't do things like most.

We leave a party afoot and tell no one.

We will walk for miles than to ask for a ride.

We have our own way of doing things.

We're not to be pittied, yet often we are.

 

If you're full of integrity like I am.

Often our actions are out of principle.

We like to teach lessons.

Even if it means punishing ourselves.

It's how we live our life.

So if you can't relate, just get over it.

 

Talk to us the way a human should treat another.

Do not offend us by treating us like a sub-society.

Be kind as if we are a stranger.

For treating us like family can often disappoint.

Especially when we're the black sheep.

And you all assume we have no feelings.

 

Truth is we're more sensitive than most.

We're the poets and artists of our time.

We suffer in silence as well.

Why, we'll never know,

It is, what it is - so treat us with care.

For tomorrow you will miss us.
