why am i different

   

            I was born like everybody else
            But why am I different?
            soak in the same sun heat as everyone else
            but why do I feel different?
            live in the same environment as everyone else
            but why do I think differently?
            in the same school as everybody
            why do I think differently?
            they say that the stars shine bright at night
            but why is it that anytime I look up, the stars lights are dim?
            they say the sky is blue, but all I see is grey
            maybe I was just born at the wrong place, the wrong time and among the wrong people
            because no matter how hard I try, I don't seem to fit in - Banji Coker
