I was always different
in my own infinite little ways
and though I am still very strange
the way I live my life has changed

now I have many different friends
who like me how I really am
and do not ask me to pretend
they listen and they understand

but often even now
I am around people who aren't like that
and every now and then
I feel like I am that weird kid again

but then with my real friends
I am so happy to come back
I hope I never will forget
how much it matters to have friends like that
