You always felt different
Always thought different
Put pen to paper to answer the question
Your results came back different
They gave you the manual
But you read it out different
“Left not right!”
“Right not left!”
And it all sounded the same to you
You were just…
Indifferent
They marked you out for great accomplishments
But you knew not what accomplishment meant
And then when you took the nosedive
You wondered where the compliments went
It was simple in the beginning
You were winning!
You were grinning!
But in time the prize grew rusty
And gold became plastic
Currency, the new yardstick
Of life’s great achievements
Could have walked the common line
Could have embraced the template
Could have followed the tried design
Used the main gate
But no, oh no…
You were different
