"PoETEPETE to me"
So what if I'm different Maybe I like girls and boys Yeah, I'm Bi, is that a crime? So what if I'm strange "Kid shows" bring me joy In the end, it's just pixels on a screen So what if I'm annoying I'm just being myself It's better than being someone you're not So what if I'm awkward People just don't understand me I don't understand them either, so your point is? So what if I'm ugly It doesn't matter My looks don't define me, neither should yours So what if I'm still a child I have feelings too you know I can understand some things adults will never know These are the questions I will always ask Because the diversity of the human race is great! It doesn't matter who you are under the mask Human is whatever, black or straight If anyone has a problem with it, Are you gonna run crying, back to your cot? Or will you give them a smile and say; "So what?"

So What?
Today I jumped off a cliff And as I fell I could only think of what was to come Falling, I dove until I pierced the cold dark waters The bitter salt stinging my eyes as I try to rise above Only to realize the harsh waves pushing me down The struggle to keep my head above The struggle to breath Below me, I feel the hundred of bites from sharks Their sharp teeth in my skin dragging me down And the thousands of jellyfish stings weakening me forcing me down forcing me to blend in and become one of them But I can't I must prevail I must take on the pain I must move on And as I pull free and swim further away I hear them call You're weird! You're ugly!You're an outcast! And though the words constantly replay in my mind I must use them as strength to move on I must succeed I must push through the waves I must ignore the pain.the stings, the bites. I must swim against the current. I must fight it. Although they still try to drag me down Try to make me like them I can never be... I can only be me... For my island, my home, my sanctuary. is not far away... I must be free...

Swimming against the current
It falls out of me and i can't help it the insecurities of it all life can fill you with poison it can drug you and make you think that it's you that you are the one that's wrong in reality if you are different, if you are lucky enough to be different strike out on your own you are better than them for you stayed true you didn't let the magazines or the clicks or the television win

different
I do not want to look like them I will not give up my body again to have my bones show I am a person A human Not a child Not a skeleton… I do not want to look like them I will not deprive myself of energy that is already being stolen I am a being A consciousness Not a construct Not a slave I do not want to look like them I refuse to give up the joy and kindness that rests within my aura I am a soul An entity Not a stone Not a void I do not want to look like them I will hold my humanity tight and never release it from my grasp I am personality A vibe Not a robot Not another cog I do not want to look like them I do not want to be them I do not want to associate with them
