i am not like you

i am not like you.

i live in a world that forces me to be strong.

i live in a world where i need to know how to survive.

i live in a family that is hard to please, so at all cost, don't screw up.

i am not like you.

i have an old soul, that has been through much pain.

i have a great mind, that never stops running.

i have a quiet voice, that never knows when to shout.

i am not like you.

i am still a teen that will soon become an adult.

i am still a person, who has not yet found her click.

i am still an introvert, that wouldn't dare to "join in."

i am me.
