they say, i say


they say

loner - wierdo - freak.

i say

independent - creative - unique.

they say

her appearance offends.

i say

she doesn't hide and pretend.

they say

those feelings are a sin, unnatural.

i say

their courage, conviction is admirable.

they say

he's just a ghetto-grown criminal.

i say

his ambition's unequivocal.

they say

"all we see in you is problems."

i say

"but i won't judge you. i am flawless."
