DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE
by Alexandra Gross
Do you know what it's like
To be different? To never
Feel quite right with people?
To be in a crowd and yet utterly
Alone? To wish for someone
Who understands you completely,
And come to the realisation that
No such person exists ?
I do.
Do you know what it's like
To be a freak ? To have
Everyone who sees you either
Pity you, or hate you? To receive
Funny looks every day, every hour?
To have people question everything
You say or do?
I do.
Do you know what it's like
To be unwanted ? To know
That you don't belong anywhere?
To know that you're nobody's favourite,
Nobody's best friend?
To know that, when you're with a person,
There's always someone he or she would
Rather be with?
I do.
Do you know what it's like to be normal ?
To be in constant worry that someone
Won't approve of what you do, or say ?
To always need the right clothes, or
The right music on the right iPod ?
To never know your real friend
From that person who just wants to
Have the social status of hanging out with
Somebody normal ?
I don't. And I sure as hell never want to find out.
