Different
Since I was born
I stood out
All I wanted
Was to be the same
That childish need to fit in
Overtook my growth as I fell prey to my feelings

Then I was told
That I should embrace my difference
That that was the key to connecting myself
To the rest of society
That I should fit in by standing out

Differences are what make us who we are
Those flaws are what make us human
How can we deny ourselves,
Ourselves?

How can we turn away from the very things that make us human?
That is what separates us
But the very things that make us different
Are the things that make us the same
From every atom of our being to the stars in the sky
They make us the same
