Am I Suppose To Be This Way?

Am I suppose to be this way?Maybe I am confused.My brother likes Tupac.I like Jessica Simpson.They will not like me.They will not accept me.I don't act like him.I relate more to her.The cheetah girls are on!I don't want to watch Dragon Ball z.My neighbor is a bully.Strangers are laughing at me.The teacher does not careNot safe at home.Not safe at the mall.Not safe in schoolWhere can I go?RuPaul Speaks I listen.Ellen speaks I listen.Oprah speaks I listen.Kathy Giffin Speaks I listen.My heart speaks I listen.I can go to college.I can accept myself.I can act the way I want too.I am safe.I believe in me.I am supposed to be this way.
