Why must I be like this?
There must be a better way
A better person I can be
A better role I can play
…
Why must I be like this —
Different, unlike and weird?
Some they call me special
But so often I’ve been jeered
…
Why must I be like this —
Separated from the rest?
All the folks they have much fun
Am I missing life’s best?
…
I’ve never really envied them
They have their lives and I; mine
They may be happy or whatever
But I am just about fine
…
I have my friends albeit few
I have my reasons albeit new
I owe nothing to them or you
I’ve had never much to rue
…
Why must I be like this?
Well, this is the rightful way
A better person I can be
In this very role I play
“Different, unlike and weird” work for me.

your choices, decisions and ways only befits you. you will remain you and will never become anyone else. But to grow with time and to become more better depends what traits we work on in ourselves.
loving others in the heart is a secret of happiness 🙂🙂❤

You are like this because you are destined to create the better way.
We all share the spirit who knows something is wrong and it’s beginning to rise through all of us.
