Open your eyes to the truth

Open your eyes to my pain

All I want is one little thing

It’s not like I’m Insane

It’s not like I’m speaking Dutch

You understand my speech

Stop acting like you don’t get it

Even though I’m not one to preach

I’ve made my mistakes in the past

And am regretful for them today

But I understand this

And can except that I’m not the same

You, on the other hand, are oblivious

To this important little fact

I never was broken

I’ve always been in tact.

So stop trying to fix me

There’s nothing for you to do

And stop trying to change me

I like who I’ve become, too

Why can’t this get through?

Your thick ego-filled head?

If I was anything else

I’d probably wish to be dead.

Stop pretending like your different

Deep down we’re all the same

We say we don’t like something about our selves

But we’re proud of who we are today!

We all have things that hurt us,

Things that cause us pain

And we all have things that make us smile

And can’t wait for the next day.

So don’t say you’re depressed

And that you wish you would die

And don’t laugh at those who are different

We’re all the same deep down inside.
