I am tired of being looked down on and laughed at
Because I don't think like most other people do
What is so wrong about looking at things in a new way?
I like to see things in a completely different view
People tell me every day to close my mouth and be quiet
No one wants to hear how I see the world in my mind
They say I'm silly, foolish, and an embarrassment
And it would be better for them to leave me behind
When I try to speak to people when my family is around
They often cut me off and try to keep me from telling others my opinions
I feel like they think I am too stupid to even hold a conversation
Why do they push me away? Why don't they bother to listen?
I will admit that I have said some thoughtless things in my time
But everyone has at one point or another said something rude
What is so wrong about saying what you feel in your heart
As long as you aren't impolite or brash while explaining your views
