I Am Different

I am different, I will not lie, But I smile and laugh and bleed and cry.

Wound me enough and I shall die, But for now, I shall find light in death.

When others cry, I remain cold. So cold, and yet with a heart of gold.

In many ways I fight the mold. Yes, many ways I'm different from thee.

So quiet I seem amidst the fun, But inside, I shine like the sun.

Others like me, there are none, As gifted and special as I am.

Like the water, I flow with grace. Like the earth, I know my place.

Like the wind, I go my own pace. Like fire, I burn those who ignite me.

The one thing I long for be love's glow. It has beauty I've yet to know.

But no one dares to share it so. Maybe they just don't see all of me.
