The Differents

the project for English is about feeling unwanted

The road she walks down 

Is black and torn

It is full of flaws

She can feel the eyes of thousands

Taunting her

They want her gone

This is her road

But she doesn't belong

She is one of the Differents.

The road she wants to walk

Is a rainbow of colors

No one is the same

But they are treated as equals

There is love there

There is acceptance here

The people are few but proud

She belongs here

She is one of the Differents.

She's forced in the world of the Sames

Everyone is like the other

The Differents don't stand a chance

Of belonging

Anyone who is a different color

Or speaks a different language

Or is a different sexual orientation

Or who thinks differently

Is Different.

The girl needs to leave 

The streets of Sameness

And to her home of the Differents

But the Sames want to change her

They think she can become 

One of the Sames

They caught her

They tried to make her into one of their clones.

But this girl is Different.

This girl is strong.

This girl can't be like all the others.

She is Different.

I like the line "They tried to make her into one of their clones." Do I know that feeling well!

Thanks for putting into words this sentiment. Execellent theme.

It is good to be different, even if that means being excluded. :)
Everyone has something to contribute, that's why we ARE all different. Excellent write, my friend.
