You're Not Me
December 1, 2016
You’re not me.
Oh, you’re bound to see;
Ugly is the new pretty.
Retarded is the new outsmarted.
Everyone is their own person.
Nobody can be me.
Only I can see,
That my flaws don’t make me any less perfect than those without them.
Maybe one day you’ll see,
Everyone’s themselves, and you’re not me.
