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
