Gorgeously a Hybrid; Different is beautiful

Laughing or crying? 

she doesnt know which one is worse 

no matter what she does people always fuss and curse.

be yourself , do what you like 

she hears on tv

but to be honest shes thinking realistically

she tries to draw because thats what she favors 

but people look, .. and try to play her. 

"its ugly, it's trash" is all that she hears 

when she knows that its beautiful but 

 ends up drenched in tears. 

do what i like? i'd rather not 

because ill get ridiculed and taunted 

like missing the buzzer beating shot.

but what she doesnt know is that she is right 

and they are wrong 

maybe they dance , 

and maybe she draws 

no matter what she does 

they always start a brawl!

Why?

do you know why this is? 

Its because shes different and unique 

like a rare flower  that grows in the concrete of Paris.

she will never be them and they will never be her 

Who wins this battle? 

the one that loves and not hurt

the girl who knows she special 

and knows her worth.

Yes some people will do anything to bring you down 

but show them whose boss..

show them who has the crown.
