I write all day
Instead of practicing sports
I am silent
When they talk to their friends

I wear jeans
While they wear skirts
I wear jackets
While they were designer shirts

I sit alone
While they sit in groups
I eat alone
While they share food

I take pictures
While they pose for instagram
I draw pictures
While they copy and paste

I am broken
While they are whole
I am not spoken
While they spread rumors

I feel alone
while they must feel loved
I never felt so gone

And it's just because I'm Different.
