I Am Not


 

All these people watching

Why can they not see

I’m no different

Than anyone of them

 

I’m not stronger

I am not smarter

Not faster, not better

I’m not more in any way

 

All these people staring

Pointing, silently agree

That I am different                         

Than all of them

 

I’m not weaker

I am not dumber

Not slower, not worse

I am not less in any way

 

All these people gaping

It’s now they finally see

I’m no different

Not in any way

 

I’m just as strong

I am just as smart

Just as fast, just as good

I’m not different in any way
