I enjoyed a world only I could see, in a way only I understood
You came to me and spoke words we both knew
About a world only you understood
Each time we talked and in each your smiles
I could see how hard you tried and how with every word
with every smile, you tried to stir my thoughts
Ever so slightly towards your world, away from mine
Towards your definition of sadness, away from mine
My sadness you never understood, and It never left
The proof that I didn’t belong, the cause of your pity
I am happy, even without your smiles
Happy to be different, happy to breathe, to think, to live
Happy to be sad, Sad to be lonely, but happy to be me

To accept that fact one's uniqueness comes our difference and the sadness we feel about being different
