am i a freak, because i allow myself to freely speak? i don't take into consideration what you think. because my opinion is as good as yours but you always disagree, and you keep recreating this war. you call me a freak, because i keep to myself because i don't act the way you and your friends do because i'm not another carbon copy of you. because i have nothing to lose. you yell down the hall, you label me "freak" everyday, and you try to make me weak. just because i don't dress like you because i don't do my hair and makeup quite the way you would like me to. here i am, i'll be your freak we've never really talked, but it's quite obvious what you think. you act as if you think i'll bite treating me like i am the monster under your bed at night. you say your intimidated, and to your friends you admit you're afraid. you say it's weird to avoid the sun, and retreat into the shade. i am a freak, because you say i don't conform, because i have an "evil presence" and i don't embrace "the norm". you tell me i'm not friendly, that i'm always cold and never warm. well today i tell you this, try to remember that it's not a choice but how i was born. and i wouldn't want it any other way. now as you say this all to me i can feel you trying so hard to hurt my feelings and to keep me barred. but your words are not things i haven't yet heard. there are many just like you who find me absurd. the faces you make at me are not faces i have never seen. all the places you go are places i have already been. you're missing out on so much, how can you say it's me who's out of touch? you try to knock me down for not being the same you strive for me to hang my head and drag my feet in shame. but i have one question, and it's an answer i need and want; where's the negetive in being different? where's the positive in your threats and taunts? who gave you authority? who said you were better than me, and who said you make the rules? why should i aspire to be like someone who can't do much more than run their mouth and tell themselves they're cool? love michelle.
