The Difference

A tale of my life, and how it used to be...

The Difference

The difference between you and me,

You are sad while I am happy

I do homework while you smoke

You swear while I tell nice jokes

When you're different from others

It's hard to find

A nice friend to call "Mine."

So as I go home,

Away from school and its horrible surroundings

I'm happy to have avoided another round of poundings

Physical, no. Emotional, yes.

Those kids tried to ruin me at my best

But I'm better now,

A better person inside and out

The road from bottom to top was a hard route

But worth it, it was

There is no doubt

I'm happy to have found friends

From me you'll see no pout

Instead of being trapped in a building,

With no escape,

Locked inside a place you don't want to be

Trust me,

It makes even the happiest person unhappy

But that stage of my life has come and gone

I'm glad it's no longer wrong

My life is good,

I'm happy as can be

From me now, you'll find nothing but glee
