Just To Be Different! ! ! Poem by Compton Wright

Some people think I’m weirdo, a loser, and straight up oddball
But I want to be remembered for my uniqueness and creativity
So don’t be judgmental about my opinions and actions
My poetry is different from the rest as god made me different
From all my life I thought that my life was only made of problems
Now I see things in a new perspective of freedom, joy and hope

When I saw the man in the mirror that keeps saying “I hate you”
I take a punch at the mirror from straight out of hatred of who I am
As I saw shatter glass frames shown a piece of me dying inside
I had many haters and betrayers keep putting me down and feel depression
Just for my pursuit of true love and knowledge or even going to college

Which was pure ignorance on their part and in my eyes I saw complete failure
I tried to fit in with the crowd to be normal for once in my life but…
It only made a bigger standout from the rest; from standout to outcast
I understand something strange or interesting about me lately but
You have to understand the difference between crazy and sheer genius
From the stones of lies about me to the bullets of falsehoods and threats

I been through it all as many phenomenal men and women broke all the rules
To create a world changing experience for the world to learn and adapt
So if you feel this poem and you felt this pain from deep within the soul
Just because of your appearance or what actions you take was judged

Than continue to be a standout as people will learn that they are different
Just like us from the oddballs, the weirdos, and the lunatics continue to be you
As god made you unique for a reason and to create this state of mind
And they will understand that they are just as different as we are

So from all the judgmental thoughts about me and others that symbolizes hate
Put it to a closed and listen to your heart thump to hear your fate from grace
If your heart is not too darken and black from within because we’re all…different
