Am I so unnatural – have you never heard
Of any one like me that I’m
An anomaly by choice?
You cannot understand me, although
I know you try.
I am not for everyone, in fact,
For no one at all. I am not
So strange as you would think.
I am out of touch with you
On purpose, I live my life
Without you in it. I feel
Out of place because I am.
You look at me funny,
You question my choices,
And I ignore it all. What I do
I do for reasons that maybe
You could understand
If I told them to you.
Everyone wants to fit in,
And be normal; and I do too,
But I know that I don’t and
I can’t and I don’t wish it were
Any different than it is. Do I
Want you to understand me?
I don’t know; I don’t care, I
Just know that you don’t and I’m an
Anomaly by choice.
