They see me as different and in some ways it's true.
I do not let convention dictate what I do.
To me same is boring, I like change and variety.
And what appeals to the masses often doesn't interest me.
But I abide by the laws and respect others' rights
and make every effort to avoid giving slight.
All I ask in return is the same courtesy.
I let them be them. Why can't they let me be me?
Why do so many people feel that different is wrong
and look down on, even hate, those who stand out from the throng?
Of course my view is different; I feel sad they must suffer
because they're afraid to embrace all that life has to offer.
