I hate it when the days are too sunny
Under the glaring light, I can’t see
And in the constant heat, I get dizzy
But that’s just me

I don’t want to be the only one
The one outcast in the crowd
So I do what everyone wants to be done
And never say my opinions out loud

I always say what they want to hear
I always smile at what they say
Sometimes I feel like they’re my puppeteer
And I get tired of doing it every day

Why do I feel like I have no control?
I want to love myself
My body, my mind, and my soul
But I feel like I should be like everybody else

Life feels like a challenge
Do I want to have fun or win?
It’s hard to find a balance
Where do I begin?

I love it when the days are foggy
There's comfort in the tranquility.
It when my thoughts aren’t as cloudy
And when I’m not as full of uncertainty
I know that I’m different from you
I may not be what you want me to be
And I might have a different type of view
But that’s just me
