Differently
by Cora Windover

*~*~*~*

If you tell me
"You dress funny"
I will say
"I don't care."

If I dress differently
The next day
Don't mock me
I don't care

I stand proudly
Every day
I'm who I want to be -
And to have pride
To love the person that I am
To be "me" inside
That's what gets me up each day
That's what makes me love my way

And if you tell me
"You dress funny"
I will say
"Thank you."
