"Nature and books belong to the eyes that see them." --Ralph Waldo Emerson


Who are
You
to say who
I
am?
You
call
Me
weird because of
My
personality.
You
tell
Me
I'm wrong because of
My
opinion.
You
single
Me
out because
I'm
not like
You.
You
have no idea who
I
am.
You
don't control who
I
turn out to be.
I
will be greater than
You
because
You
will never see how great
I
can be.

For some random reason one day, I began to recall all the times that I had been bullied throughout my school life, and trust me; it was a lot. I want people to understand that you don't have to be exactly like everyone else, that you can be whoever you want to be.

This is really well written. It also reminds me just how much of a hypocrite I am.... Which is a good thing.
