Different From You
May 23, 2012
Red hot
that's how my face feels.
You all saw me.
You saw me at my worst.
Everyone is staring.
No wait not everyone just kidding.
I keep walking
trying to hide my red hot face.
Everyone whispers and I know it's about me.
I try not to show that I care.
I walk alone while you all laugh behind my back for me being so different.
Inside I'm laughing at you
because you're all the same.
