im just.. different.
im quiet in loud crowds, talking in my head but never out loud.
picturing the day ill stand up for myself, ill hang it up on a wall next to a medal to show that im proud.
i apologise for the mistakes that you make knowing you'll never do it yourself.
too cocky and ignorant, im glad im different.
except i hate that i have to write this down for it to get out.
im different. im not like you who doesnt have to try anything to be deemed as cool.
instead, i hide and i lurk in the dark, of the shadow that boasts about being too smart.
unlike me because im different, im failing my gcse's.

i wanna make my parents proud as well as me.
i wanna be able to gloat the way you do, but for it be true.
i wanna be smart, i wanna do good in school and make a future for myself,
im different and i have different goals than you.
so why do i compare myself to you?
especially, knowing that you're different too.
