The Odd One Out

Because I've always known I was odd
Not in the sense that I'm not normal
But more so that I can't grasp the feeling of life
Everyone around me will disappear at one point

And the tears I shed will never matter
When the population is wiped
My mind is wired uniquely
Because today, I am a new person

Today, I'm confused
I'm torn between the reality of it all
And it was just a figment of my imagination
Yesterday, I was livid

I was ashamed of the person I used to be
And even more so that I haven't actually changed at all
I still do things I'm not fond of
In order to please people

I put on a smile, and I spend hours rehearsing
But, you know, it's not always easy
Being the odd one out
You can feel like you don't quite fit in or belong

But being different is what makes us unique
And that's something to be celebrated
Sometimes, it takes a while to find your tribe
But when you do, it's worth the wait

In the meantime, embrace your quirks
and don't be afraid to stand out
You never know who you might inspire or connect with
By just being yourself
