they call me weird
because I make it a point
to colour outside the lines
they cut me down
because they don't understand
what it's like
to hurt
that's the difference
between me
and them
I pour my soul out
in my words
leaving my heart exposed
perfect for the vultures
who along the way
mapped out the weak points
that I revealed in trust
now they can laugh
they can try
to take away my reasons
to smile
but as long as I have
my pen
I'll keep on going
